which card should I cancel?

The beginning of this year isn't very long ago, so you don't seem to have much good credit history record from even the older cards. If you cancel them now I don't think it'll look particularly good, too much like mind-changing. Given the low limits perhaps keep them or at least one of them for a couple of years. By then you'll have a fair bit of history on the better cards as well.
Probably good to try to get at least one card to a six year plus history so you'll have at least some record of keeping a card for a long time.
People getting your credit report can't see what type of cards the older ones are so no need to worry about that aspect.0 -
at that rate, if the BT deal is definately still intact, and bearing in mind that you want to build your rating, i would borrow more from them....as you can save that and make more in interest that the fee will be
Hi
Definitely not affected my BT offer. I checked over phone too. The first statement was split into two. One for the BT and one for the purchase ( was 6 months 0% on purchases too). It lists the interest offers separately for both).
I was worried it looked like I had too many cards and too much credit. The capital one is my oldest with a low limit, so I could get rid of the vanquis?0 -
Yes, if you want to get one the Vanquis looks like the best choice.0
