Congrats. You need to stop applying for more credit. I imagine one reason why lenders issued low CL to you is because of low AAoA. Don't close any account unless it is charging AF.

Congratulations! I hope they give you CLI increases soon. After reading the forums obsessively, I agree that closing the account isn't going to help you because it will just lower your average age of accounts. If it doesn't offer you the benefits you need, just leave it in a drawer and let it work for you rather than against you.

Did you have any credit account with USAA in the past? What is the APR?

You have too many toys...time to fill up a box and donate them to goodwill.

Not true as those closed accounts should stay on your CRs for about 10 years.

Annual fee or not, if you don't want a card anymore I would toss it (I tend to be in the minority with that viewpoint on here). I believe in downsizing. :)

USAA said now that I can't get the card because im not a full member. They said they have a lot of system issures and sometime the system let you apply when you should not let you. They should let me keep the card!!!
