What does that do to your credit score? I seem to recall that closing and opening cards can both lower you score..

No impact. The thing that would lower your score would be if it resets the account lifetime. But every time I've done it, the account lifetime has been the same, and there are no inquiries on my account, so it seems like Discover has a way to do it where it doesn't impact your credit.
