Burtons Card - Keep or Dump?

Hi Guys,

I have a Burtons store card which I have had for about 7 years. I only took it out when buying a suit so I could save 20%. I very rarely spend on it and if I do, I always pay it off immediately (Never paid any interest on it).

My question is this:

As I so rarely use it, is there any point to me keeping it? I used to use it when they had 'Cardholders save 15%' days but these seem to be non-existant now.

Thoughts on a postcard please...

    Hi there
    I suppose it depends on whether you want to get more credit somewhere else. It does show up on a credit check (I believe) as available credit, so you may not get the credit limit you want for example. As you never use it I would suggest you close the account.
