Closing CreditOne is always a good strategy.   As for the secured cards, do either of them have AFs or otherwise cost you money?

I don't see why not!  Close anything with an annual fee.  You're other 3 cards are a good assortment with good lines, and they will grow.  Smiley Happy

Re: So I decided that ...

agree with above posts....definately close credit one

 

pretty sure the Cap1 secured charges AF, so close it before the next AF is due.
