You’ve Got a 750+ Credit Score… Now What?
Friday, 15 May, 2026
In this throwback BA Q&A episode, we revisit two powerful listener questions all about leveling up an already strong credit score without losing your sanity in the process. First, we coach Nicole, whose mid-700s scores have plateaued, through a method that uses everyday subscriptions, strategic statement-date timing, and automatic payments to show consistent, responsible card usage that can gently nudge scores higher over time. We also break down what credit “mix” really means, how much weight it carries, and how to safely use tools like credit-builder loans from credit unions instead of taking on unnecessary new debt. Next, we help Shalise think through the impact of consolidating credit card balances into a personal loan—and whether to close those old cards for good—explaining how closing accounts can affect utilization, account age, and overall score.
