to maintain a good credit score, what is best way to eliminate, cancel or dispose of two credit cards I do not need nor want?

actually closing credit cards will not improve your score. if the cards don't have a fee, you should keep them open at a zero balance. this will give you a higher debt to available credit ratio. this is an important factor in factoring your score

you know Samantha, I am not sure that is worth paying a yearly fee on a card, but having more available credit improves your score.
