Which is the right choice? **added info

I will be starting myself on a financial cleansing (snowball effect), beginning of the year (not a resolution, more of a after the holiday shopping cleanse) and I am just curious to know what I should do with two of the 3 secured cards I have...

 

Discover $1000 opened 02/15

Cap One $500  opened 11/15

Wells Fargo $500 opened 02/13

 

My initial thought was to close both the Cap and Wells get the deposits back and then put that on the Discover card, which I will then use for travel (work), and earn cash back for what ever the promotion is for the moment. I then thought to close the Discover and Cap One because my Wells is easily accessable from my checking account, it would raise the bal from $500 to $2000 (actually either way bal will go to $2000)... no rewards or cash back... and hopefully one day graduate and get all that back? Thoughts???

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: Which is the right choice?

Keep all 3 until you are able to get unsecured cards. No reason to consolidate when you're still at the secured stage.
