    Would this be your only credit card or have you already got one?

    If not it would be worth keeping even if it just sits in the back of a drawer as it will be an asset to your credit history in the future and make things like loans (car etc) and mortgages easier to obtain moving forwards :o

    You've learned a valuable lesson for the future, pretty much painlessly. So a win-win situation I think.
