Amazon.com Chase Card Approved. 1/2 Drap. Adios BoA it's been a blast, lol

As a grad student and pet owner, I buy most of my normal goods on amazon.  I also get Amazon prime which is amazing.  Tonight after only 3 beers I applied for amazon.com chase card through the amazon site and was instantly approved for 5K limit. 

 

Within 5 minutes the account showed up on my chase.com account.  I received only a $30 amazon credit for this, but hey - that pays for my puppy food for next month!

 

As a result - I am closing my BoA Travel Rewards.  It has moved into last place.  It's actually not a bad card at all, I just will never use it again and my philosphy is to close what I dont use. 

 

I tried to close it online through chat - and after 15 minutes of talking to a CSR they told me that the only way to close a card via chat is if you have multiple accounts with BoA.  Thanks for wasting my time and confirming my decision. 

 

I'm now left with: 

 

Penfed Plat: 4.5K; 5% Gas, 3% Groceries, 1% other

Penfed Defender: 5K; 1.5% everything automatically (I only have my reoccuring bills set to this card, it doesnt leave my house because if I lost it I would have to update ALL of my utilities!)

Chase Freedom: 11.5K, 5% rotating

Chase Amazon: 5K, 3% Amazon.com, 2% restaurant and drug stores

 

And then my two old babies... 

 

USAA WMC: 12k: only use for my $8/renters insurance policy and my oldest card of 5 years

Navy Fed Cash Rewards: 10K; only used for $4/month Pandora One subsription.

 

 

All in all - Gained Amazon.com card, cancelled BoA Travel Rewards 1.5% point card.  

 

I would close the USAA and Navy cards but they are my oldest Smiley Sad

Thanks! 

 

Unfortunetly, this is going to be my 5th Chase card over 5K, and only my CSP was a siggy.  I think they are going to give me the reg version, but honestly, it really doesnt make much of a difference to me!

You can pick.  I got the black, but I feel like calling up tomorrow and asking for the green one expedited!
