Ditch Cap One?

So, i'm debating on getting rid of my cap one card.  I've had it almost a year and it only has a $750 limit and a $39 AF.  Not to keen on the AF since they won't increase credit line (already tried)  I do have a several other cards that I would probably just fine without having it.

 

I have:

NFCU nRewards Visa $10,000 limit

NFCU Cash Rewards Visa $5,000 limit

Chase Slate $3,000 limit

Discover More $1,500 limit

Barclay Apple Card $1,300 limit

Amex Zync NPSL

 

So after all that i'm thinking it might be time to either sock drawer it or just cut it loose bc i have a hard time justifying the annual on something that will not grow probably until about 10 years from now to $1,000.  Any thoughts?

Re: Ditch Cap One?

I'd ditch it also.. You have some awesome cards and those NFCU ones will grow!!

 

Crap One is just awful once you get out into the Prime Card teritory.

 

I have on that is going on 10 yrs old, no AF but they won't PC it, won't give me a CLI.. it sits in the sock drawer and there it will stay until they decide to close it.  If it had an AF I'd close it myself.

I really need too, i guess it served its purpose lol  But i could think of a few ways to get rid of it.  Maybe chop it up and throw it into my fire pit while i sit back and drink a cold one! =)
