I just realized I have too many credit cards Doh !

[Anonymous]

10 credit cards : 

Citi Double Cash 1k,

CSP 5k

,Chase United 5k 

BOFA Cash 4.5k 

Discover it 1k

Chase Slate 2k 

Chase Freedom 1k 

Hilton Amex 3k

 U.S. Airways 7.5k
amazon store $500

might chop slate after paying off the BT , and amazon , chase united Might be in the  chopping block too but with those chase cards I plan on consolidating Cl into CSP and freedom !  On the other hand I might get married this year , wedding or not , a honeymoon is still a good amount of spend (at least 5k I'm guessing) so closing cc's might hurt , what would you do ! The slate is kind of useless to me , so will be amazon !

You need to SM Chase to get 50K mile bonus applied instead.

Depends on when you opened these cards. Actually it doesn't really depend on that. At this point the damage is done, so I would only close cards that have an AF which you do not have a use for. If you think you would want another chase card in the future then I would get rid of the slate if it is no longer useful (transfer your CL first to your freedom). The amazon card isn't hurting you but with a $500 limit I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to get rid of it! Just let the other accounts all age so you can use the limits for overall util.

What is your Slate APR?

I am keeping mine for the 12.99%.

Doesn't really matter as my priorities and goals aren't necessarily the same as yours.  However, if you have specific questions I can certainly try to answer them.  If you anticipate $5K+ spend keep in mind the general guidelines with utilization -- i.e. try to stay under 30%.
