I'm in agreement with you. No problem. Worrying about my credit score is not something I do. Definitely more in the "Dave Ramsey" camp ("debt is dumb" and "credit score = I Debt Score") than the "do everything you can to get a perfect score" camp.

Just trying to explain that it does effect other things. The trade-off is perfectly fine with me.
