paying off CC question

DH has a cap1 card that he is making min payments on.  we want to pay it off (and possibly close it??) we both just got approved for the 99/500 BOA card.  since we are planning on a) PIF on the 99/500 every month and b)PIF the cap1 (which is at $250 right now)    should he pay off cap1 with BOA and then pif boa when statement comes??  i was just thinking, we were going to spend the money anyways..might be a good way to start with BOA.  
 
i also have a Lane Bryant CC that i was going to pay off--im thinking of doing the same with my BOA card.
 
 
 
new to the boards..ive been lurking.  trying to buy a house!!  our scores are in the low-mid 500s and we need to get to atleast 580 to get our mortgage.  thanks!!

Re: paying off CC question

No dont closed it, its not always a good ideal to closed a CC unless it have a high AF or monthly fees,
 
it will lower your ult. If you dont use it often just sock drawer it and may be give them a ring and see if
 
you can get them a CLI.
