+1

It costs you nothing to keep it open. The plus is simple, low CL or not its still an open CL and since you won't use it- it can only help your util.

It amazes me how much Discover's CEO looks like the exact guy I would imagine being CEO of Discover.

Think about it. Both freedom and IT have 5% gas quarters that dont overlap (afaik)

That gives you 6 months of 5% back on gas as opposed to 3.even if you just use it for that its a keeper.

You most definitely should keep your Discover card open. I'm surprised that you're actually considering closing it. Discover's online shopping portal, ShopDiscover, alone makes it worth it to have a Discover card.

What is limit of the Discover compared to these other cards and why does 3, 4 or 5 mean you can't have or keep the Discover?

Actually you can use your DISCOVER IT card to get cash back amongst its retailers.

Apple offers 5% cash back.

I have 0% apr on balance transfer for 12 months on the recently pc'ed IT card. So I'll can tranfer the balance to my discover and pay it in my spare time.

(Remember the 5-20% cash back subject to the cap at the retailers Smiley Wink )
