Close or Keep??

Paid the balance on my Barclaycard CC yesterday which has a £9,500 limit. Question is do I keep or close? I am planning on closing all CC once the balances are paid. 
It currently is not offering any balance transfer options and I do have another card (Virgin) with a balance of 9,500 that is accruing interest.
Whats the chances of Barclaycard offering a BT in the near future now that it is a zero balance?

    It depends on what other cards you have available. Keep at least a few so that you have options.
  • I would leave it as it is and see what happens, especially at the moment. I paid £13k off my Barclaycard (cleared the balance) earlier in the year, and they cut my limit to £3.5k after a couple of months of no activity.
