I believe is 10 years
My Jcrew limit is $8,800. Keeping that one for sure!
Will be closing my amex green soon too
in less than 8 months I have taken my J Crew card from something like 500-700 to 9700!! 8 months ago I went in and one night kept on hitting the CLI request until I got the 7-10 day wait message. 5 minutes of my time resulted in a 5300 limit. I did the same thing last month, and took it up to 9,700!! It is now my highest card in my portfolio.

They are my smallest credit lines that I dont use at all. Did the shopping cart trick for them.
Also will my credit score go down for closing these two small lines? I got over $25,000 in credit lines.
You know what they say--the only good Comenity card is a closed Comenity card. Go ahead and close them. Your credit score should be fine as long as your utilization on your other cards is under 10%.
Why close them. Especially J Crew. You really don't have that strong of a credit profile to be eliminating cards.
I could see it if you had 8-10 major cards with 5-10 k or more in limits opened for 4-5 years. With your file I would keep them and let them grow. Hit the cli button on J Crew monthly and make a small purchase periodically.
Just my opinion.

10 years.
Why would you close them? Neither has an AF, and they grow. There's no reason to close them.
