Re: MILITARY STAR CARD

If you're not using it and it's not significantly older than your next oldest card, you can safely close it.

Re: MILITARY STAR CARD

I would keep it. The military star card doesn't have an annual fee. I've also never seen one closed for lack of use. It has good potential to grow. Trust me, AAFES can't wait to give you more credit to spend at their facilities.  I've had mine since June 1993. It's one of my oldest trade lines. I don't use it as much these days  because of rewards cards and some minor sub chasing, but it still has a place in my wallet. However, it's your card and your decision. Good luck either way.
