Question

Nora has heard that opening a lot of credit card accounts is a good way to build credit. She currently has five cards, but is sometimes forgetful in paying her bills on time and usually has a balance on each card. Her favourite store is offering a $50 coupon on her next purchase, with the promise of more coupons in the future, if she opens a credit card. She decides to open the store credit card to get the discounts.
How would Nora use the decision making steps in this scenario?

Is this a good or bad debt move? Why?

Answer 1

This is a bad move. You should work on getting a high credit score on one card not multiple.
