Credit Cards I dont use

Good question?

I have 14 + credit cards I have opened over the years. Although my credit score is still good (it went down from 778 to 754 in a years time) My concern is that I do not use most of them and was told that my credit score will lower even more if I close them. I do not want to keep track of charging a small amount on them to boost my score....what do you suggest.

Thanks,

Les S.

cards will close themselves if inactive long enough. as stated above close newer ones first this will keep your average account age higher.
