You get good credit by having a modest number of accounts that are open and active. In some cases having no credit is worse than having poor credit.

You are saying that if I continue paying it off as quickly as possible it could hurt me?

What I am saying is, the credit report people don't see that I paid off a credit card 5 months in advance?
