Thanks to a recommendation from a member, we decided to review when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
- Is there long-term value?
- Are the benefits enough to offset the annual fee?
- If not, is there a retention offer?
- If no offer, is there a path to product change to preserve the credit line to help with utilization ratio
- If there's no path to product change, consider closing the card as long as it’s not the oldest card
- If no annual fee, little reason to close. If you’re not using them though, put a small charge on them periodically.
