If your credit rating is excellent will cancelling a store credit card after paying it off in full in the first billing cycle affect your credit rating?

Credit scores are calculated primarily on "Credit". After closing a card............do you have "credit"? No. You HAD credit......now you don't. It certainly won't help your scores.

Can your credit rating or score improve without using your credit card?

Yes, your credit rating is based upon all forms of credit, not just your credit card. For example if you have a telephone on a plan, this is a form of credit and that will add to your credit history which increases your credit rating.


Does a credit card with a high credit limit adversely affect your credit score?

It will depend on the way you use your credit card. Having and using a credit card wisely can be beneficial to your credit rating.

However, if you're constantly applying for new credit cards, it can hurt your rating.

Your best bet would be to close those older credit cards. While it may take some time, your credit score can be improved.
