Question: If my total CL is close to my gross income, can I still get new CC?
I've tired of too many CCs, which one to close?
Citi: Dividend 3.5k, Forward 5k
Chase: CSP 5K, UA 7K, Freedom 5K
Amex: Delta 9.5K, SPG 3K
Barclay: NFL 1.5K
Discover: It 5.4K
Intend to close Delta and UA soon.
Thanks.

Then do I need to, say, use Delta card every 3 month?
I may switch Delta to Blue cash anyway because the annual fee.

Why would you want to closed credit card then re-apply for another CC ?

Stay with your current card . Treat them good make a good solid payment every month and stop messing with those new APP.

Give them a call tell them you want a product change from your Delta to BCE.
It's can be done less than 5 mins and your new BCE card should be arrived in a few days.

PC to a card that you like. Close none unless you opened them just in the past couple of months.

Well, I got the NFL card in Nov, so it's better to close this one?

I dont know if it makes sense to close your two highest limit cards (33% of your total credit) with the hope that you will be able to replace them with cards of like limits. You will risk killing your util with the hopes of getting a lower rate?
Also considering that you plan a big purchase, what happens if you cant get the rates you want or cant get another card. Now you have to still make your large purchase, but you have given away 33% of your limits.

I think you are missing what everyone is saying. there is NO reason to close a card. DONT CLOSE YOUR CARDS
