New cards Vs existing card deals

3.2K Posts


I have been mainly renewing existing deals as I am at max credit and don't think will get another card or as big a credit limit again. However generally paying 3% on BTs Vs no fees on new cards
Is this a poor strategy?
Should I take the risk of ending and restarting?

But have a longer term strategy to clear the debt.
Even at the risk of losing the high credit limit and possibly a declined application for a new card?
And if declined, you simply have a search on your file.
But I have been declined new cards previously, I suspect for having too much credit available. I was even declined for a 2nd card with an existing CC.
So it seems the only way out of the spiral is to cancel a card that has no deals, reduce my existing available credit and then apply again in 3m or so
Look at the wider picture, including your three credit files, to determine the best strategy.
