<prompt> Human: First off, thanks everyone for all of the info and support - Ive really started to get a handle on my finances for the first time in my life, and I owe that mostly to the posts on rpersonalfinance. I finally got a clear credit history and paid off all of my debt. I got a secured credit card 5 months ago to start building new credit, and since then Ive gotten approved for several rewards cards. I dont carry a balance, just spend with cards to get rewards and build credit history. All cards and age of accounts are as follows: Capital One Secured Mastercard No Rewards - 5 months Paypal Extras Mastercard - 3 months. Capital One Platinum No Rewards - 1 week Amazon Rewards Visa - 1 week Capital One Venture Visa - 1 weekThe reason why I applied for several cards in the last week: I needed a Visa card with a high limit and no international feesIm abroad most of the year and I didnt think I would qualify for the Venture with my lack of credit history. I applied for Amazon Rewards because I frequently shop there. When they approved me for a limit of several thousand dollars I figured I would go ahead apply for the Venture. I got approved, but it was after I had already gotten the Capital One Platinum - I dont need this card, its just going to sit in a drawer and cost me 29 per year.I no longer need the Capital One Secured or Platinum Cards. Together they cost about 60 per year in fees and have no rewards. With my limited credit history, can I cancel these accounts now that I have cards that I like and will use? Or is it better to let the accounts age and consider 60 per year a credit building tax?  <response>: The 60 in fees are kind of rough. See if you can get your bank to waive them, or maybe do a product change to one without the fee.Dont pay money for a boost in your score. If youre not looking at a major loan soon, it wont hurt to remove the fee-based cards.
