Marbles Card Good For Improving Credit Score?

in Credit cards
Hi
I currently have a Marbles Card after having a capital one card and a Barclaycard at the same times.
I have since closed the capital one and Barclaycard account and my marbles account has no money owed on it.
Would it improve my credit score to keep this card open or to close it like the others?
Thanks

You have no credit score. But you do have a credit history.
Having at least two active cards and managing them well shows stability.
Keep and use both.0 -
Thanks for the reply.
I only have one card at the moment, are you saying it would be beneficial to get another one?

Yes - apologies, I mis read. I thought you already had two open.
It's always wise to have at least one back up for when your other gets declined, as well as for demonstrating that other lenders trust you, rather than just the one.
Use both regularly and clear in full each month.0
