Does the old credit card have fixed costs (month/year fee)? If I didn’t, I’d keep it first. The request and registration of the new card in the Schufa can reduce your scores a bit. There it would be unnecessary if additionally a positive feature, like your previous (already used?) credit card, falls away. I would therefore not announce it until the new one already exists for at least one year. If at all, a second card as backup would not be a disadvantage.

If the old credit card naturally causes running costs, I would cancel them after the new one is there, everything runs perfectly and you are satisfied. In a dismissal before requesting the new ones, I do not see any sense here either. Your “applying” at the new one looks a little better, with an already existing credit card and a good score.

You don’t have to quit the old one. I also have four KK from different providers.

Of course you can have more than one KK at the same time.

Schufa doesn’t always cook the clearest bite.

2 KK are not problematic. I have two and a score somewhere at 97.

What Schufa does not like is change. So it can be the artist of the old and opening the new temporarily has worked out. I don’t have to. This is a rumor not a proven fact.
