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

[Anonymous]

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

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!
