What Is an Excellent Credit Score?
The definition of an “excellent” credit score can vary depending on the scoring model used. The two most popular scoring models, FICO and VantageScore, use slightly different calculations to determine what constitutes a good score and what is considered excellent.
What’s an Excellent FICO Score?
FICO is the most widely used credit scoring model by banks. It assigns scores on a range from 350 to 850, with anything above 800 considered “excellent.”
What’s an Excellent VantageScore?
VantageScore, although less popular than FICO, is also used to assess the creditworthiness and reliability of potential applicants. The three major credit bureaus developed it: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. VantageScore assigns scores ranging from 300 to 850, with scores over 781 being deemed “excellent.”
What are the Benefits of Having Excellent Credit?
Having an excellent credit score opens up a world of opportunities. It demonstrates to lenders that you are a responsible borrower and will likely repay your debts on time. With a high credit score, you can qualify for lower interest rates on loans, credit cards with better rewards and benefits, and even better insurance rates.
Also, a good credit score can make renting an apartment, getting a job, or even starting your own business easier. It is an essential financial tool that can significantly impact various aspects of your life.
Here are a few other benefits of having excellent credit:
Lower Interest Rates
Good and excellent credit can secure the best interest rates on credit cards and other loans. Individuals with excellent credit usually receive APRs around 4% lower than those with good credit and approximately 12% lower than applicants with fair credit. They may also qualify for lower balance transfer fees or no foreign transaction fees.
Rewards
Excellent credit often translates to better card offers with enhanced rewards in the form of cash back, points, or miles. The value of these rewards varies depending on the issuer, so it’s important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the rewards program before applying for a credit card to understand how points are earned and redeemed.
Credit Limits
A prime or super prime credit score can lead to approval for higher credit limits compared to individuals with average or poor credit. This advantage extends to other credit products such as auto loans, mortgages, and personal loans.
Perks
The best credit cards and charge cards for individuals with excellent credit come with exceptional perks. Luxury credit cards often offer travel benefits that surpass their annual fees, including hotel upgrades, dedicated concierge services, lounge access, Global Entry or TSA statement credits, and more.
How to Get an Excellent Credit Score
Getting the best credit scores requires patience and hard work. An excellent credit score doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it takes years of good financial habits. The easiest way to build an excellent credit score is to follow these three simple steps:
① Check and review your credit reports | Ⓐ Check your credit reports from all three of the nationwide consumer reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. |
Ⓑ Check for negative credit information, like potential fraud or ID theft, accounts in collection, or unpaid balances. | |
② Pay your bills on time | Ⓐ Automatic payments are a great way to avoid accidentally missing a payment. |
Ⓑ Splitting monthly payments into two smaller payments can help stretch budgets while ensuring you pay on time. | |
③ Keep credit use low | Ⓐ Credit utilization accounts for roughly 30% of your credit score, so aim to keep credit use as low as possible. |
Ⓑ Consider a balance transfer credit card if your credit use is creeping up and you want to consolidate that debt into one new account, typically at 0% Intro APR. | |
④ Limit new applications | Limit any new credit applications to only what is essential (i.e. if applying for a balance transfer credit card). |
⑤ Keep old accounts open | Don’t close any old, unused accounts. Closing accounts can lower your average credit utilization. |
Based on the information above, paying your bills on time is critical. Payment history is the most important factor in determining your credit score, making up over a third of your FICO Score. Try setting up bi-weekly payments so you can keep your credit use low.
Your credit utilization is how much you use compared to the available amount. Always try to keep your credit utilization below 30% of your available credit limit, though if you want to achieve excellent credit, it is better to aim for 10% overall credit use – or less.
How Long Does It Take to Achieve an Excellent Credit Score?
Building an excellent credit score takes time and consistency. There is no fixed timeline, as it varies depending on individual circumstances. However, with dedication and responsible financial habits, you can see improvements in your credit score within a few months to a year. Remember, your credit score reflects your financial behavior over time, so patience and persistence are key.
Tips for Maintaining an Excellent Credit Score
Once you have achieved an excellent credit score, it is essential to maintain it. Here are some tips to help you maintain your creditworthiness:
- Continue paying bills on time: Consistently paying your bills on time is crucial in maintaining an excellent credit score. Set up reminders or automatic payments to ensure you never miss a payment.
- Avoid unnecessary debt: While taking on additional debt, such as unnecessary loans or credit cards may be tempting, it is important to be mindful of your borrowing habits. Only take on debt that you can comfortably manage and repay.
- Monitor your credit: Monitor your credit score and credit report closely to identify any changes or errors promptly. This will allow you to take appropriate action if needed.
Conclusion
Achieving and maintaining excellent credit scores requires discipline, responsible financial habits, and patience. You can enjoy the benefits of excellent credit by understanding the factors that influence your credit score, regularly checking your credit report, and taking steps to improve and maintain a good credit score. Remember, good credit opens doors to better financial opportunities and helps you achieve your personal and financial goals.
