Close NFCU Flagship?

I currently have 15 cards; 11 personal and 4 business. I haven't been using the Flagship because I got into travel hacking and have travel cards. 

Is there a benefit to keeping the card? I am paying the annual fee for the past 3 years with no actual spending. I have 2 savings account with them.

Navy Fed Flagship- $25000
Chase Sapphire Reserve- $24000
Hilton Aspire- $24000
Venture X- $20,000
Hilton Business- $10,000

The limit can help with util if you hold a balance. And the free Amazon prime has been reported to be an annual thing, so that can be of benefit to offset the AF.

If you like the limit and positive reporting history, then product change to no AF card.

use it to pay your prime membership, you get it credited back to you every year

 

otherwise PC it to the Cash/More Rewards or the Platinum to have a low apr, 0% cash advance fee card 

 

I wouldn't close it

I've used it to pay for membership the first year, but I haven't been reimbursed the past few years.

My flagship reimburses most of my amazon prime annual fee for the last 3 years or so that I remeber to switch the billing to the flagship. Still works as of a few months ago.

Re: Close NFCU Flagship?

I'm crossing my fingers, hoping, and praying to Buddha that I receive ongoing amazon prime reimbursements.  It's really the only/main reason I got the $49/yr card. 

 

(Although the $300 + $400 + .02x$3500=$70 = $770) welcome bonuses were nice too.  Smiley Happy   )

Did you by chance change your billing from pay in full to monthly?
