No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I am wondering what is better to do close a card or wait for them to close it for inactivity?
two of them have an AF. another one will never move from current CL.
FWIW I'd never let a card close due to inactivity; while FICO might not care, I don't want odd questions during an underwriting phase asking about a card which was "closed by credit grantor."

this is definitely a good reason not to let them close it due to inactivity, even more if they have an AF.

I agree.
Appbar, if this is the cap1 account your asking about keep it. I know the AF thing isn't nice but try out the executive office line and see if they can increase you to make it worth it.
I look at credit all the time... Scores are nice, but really don't tell the whole picture. Someone that has had late payments and closed accounts that say Closed by Grantor and then you look at High credit, Credit limit which may now be lower because they balance chased you, just looks bad.
I pay for USAA credit monitoring and score watch... Because I care about my Credit/Score. Honestly an annual fee is the least of my concerns. Paying my bills on-time and watching my utility and managing spending on 15 different cards is.
I strongly believe that if you are not going to use a card. Sock Drawer it and still log in and check the balance every two weeks and use it once every two months or just close it.
Some interesting discussions in this thread! In the past I've always heard here that you should just let it go on it's own if there is no AF?
