<prompt> Human: First time poster here, so apologies if Im breaking any rules. I have had a credit card with my bank for a few years, and was just notified that they will be changing their cards from Visa to Mastercard, and so I should expect a new card with a new number in the mail next month. At this point I have only really been keeping this credit card active it doesnt have particularly good benefits because it is my oldest one, and length of credit history helps to improve your credit score. Upon canceling my current Visa and replacing it with the new MasterCard, is my credit history going to remain intact? Should I just cancel the card and get a new one with better benefits? Thanks in advance for the advice!  <response>: Nope, this should not affect your score.Also, if youre looking for added benefits, ask your bank about doing a product change to a card with a better rewards system. In addition to this, it doesnt hurt to have multiple cards. See the AutoMod wiki page on FICO Credit Scores.As always, only use credit for planned expenses. Always pay your statement balance in full every month.
