Hi
I have been stoozing for few years now on 0 percent purchases.I was shocked recently to find out I was given 1000 spend limit on my new amex card!I always had 5K+ limit given and am trying to get my credit report.
my dillemma is should I cancel the card without using or use it and pay it off?which would help better my credit rating.
any advice is welcome
