Re: Should I close these cards.....struggling to understand utilization...PLEASE help???

Your score might take a slight hit if you close the account.  It will lower your AAoA and raise your utilization as well.

 

However, I'm not sure that "protecting" your score is worth $9.25 a month.

 

If you do close the account, and your score DOES drop, it won't be for long.

 

You now have a couple of "real" credit cards...

 

I'd close it, save the fees, and don't look back.  JMHO.
