I just received and activated a Amex Blue Cash Everyday card, now I'm thinking about canceling it. I applied for the card when an offer popped up on my Amex webpage while checking my Costco Amex card. I originally wanted to keep my relationship with Amex, but after receiving it and activating it I think I want to close it due to the low credit limit. I already have enough cards, and because of the low credit limit I don't think I'll use it. I wanted to see what people thought about canceling this card. I just received it today. Thanks for the input!

I think you'd be making a huge mistake closing the card. Even if you don't get your 3x CLI immediately - you now have a card to push your AMEX Costco limit to when it's run is up in April 2016(8 months away). Hold onto it, get a CLI under your belt and then transfer your limit before they shut down the Costco cards. 


Awesome idea!

 

I just received my BCE approval and wasn't too thrilled with the SL.

 

But I do have the TE card that will qualify for a 181 day 3X CLI October 8th..

 

The Costco TE card will also be 17 months old in April next year.

 

I was just assuming Citi would convert the account but this is option number 2..

 

Thanks for putting this out there.
