While it is a very human reaction (so I've been told, I'm not human), there really is no gain in cancelling.   Unless having the card is actually a burden (and even with 8.5K it's really quite usable) I think the underlying motivation behind cancelling is, more or less "teach those deleted deleted deleted people a lesson!"   But of course it doesn't, no-one at Penfed will notice, and certainly not care, if you cancel all your accounts, they are too big.

 

So decide the relative importance of "it makes me feel better to cancel" vs loss of a potentially useful credit line.   If you see no real use for Penfed, then certainly cancel.

Still thinking of canceling the new card or both cards



No don't think like that, you still got great cc from a great lender, let accounts age 6-12 months, you are still gonna get limits you want, it is a process.

Many people would kill to get in your shoes, just relax and enjoy your new cc, after some time, get a CLI and you're cool...

Re: PenFed asked for paystubs after app

hmmm...Citi more conservative? Well for me the most conservative was Discover. But I will now just use their card for the bonus categories and run the rest through my other cards. This is my "revenge" ...I know I should be grateful to have been accepted...but I guess it is a similar reaction as to your cancelling idea.
cheers
