First Premier Bank

I was wondaring weather i should cancel my First Premier Bank card.  Im getting sick of the $7 monthly fee..  They agreed to help with the $48 anual fee to keep me from canceling, but the monthly fee alone adds up to $84 a year.

 

Its my oldest card and ive had it for almost 2 years, Since then ive gotten a few other cards which are crappy but still better than this one.  Would you guys advise that i close it or leave it open.  It wont really hurt my utilization since it only has a limit of $200, and i dont usually carry a balance on my other cards

 

Is there any reason i should hang on to this card, Let me know what yall think

Are  the other cards you have from a major bank?  If so, there's no reason to keep paying FPB  fees.  The card will still appear on your credit reports for up to 10 years if you do cancel it.

Re: First Premier Bank

Keep all those accounts pristine.  Close the First Premier account.  It has served it's purpose already.

I say get rid of it! First Premier has served its purpose and its time to move on.
