I started my credit card journey around BBD/GIF sale 2021 my initial cards were Flipkart axis and Apay icici from than i applied multiple cards mostly approved but some rejected. Now i want to close some of my cards as they are lying idle most of the times although most of my cards are Life time free still does it make sense to hold card fore the sake of LTF even if they will be used only once/twice a year? Below are the cards i am holding right suggest me which should i choose to continue

  1. Axis flipkart (ltf) will not close
  2. Axis rewards (paid) migrated from citi rewards will definitely close when card anniversary month come
  3. Icici Apay (ltf) will not close
  4. Icici platinum (ltf)
  5. Icici coral rupay (ltf)
  6. Yes bank kiwi (ltf)
  7. Hdfc tataneu plus (ltf) thinking to close
  8. Hdfc swiggy (ltf) will not close for now
  9. Hdfc rupay moneyback plus (paid)
  10. Rbl shoprite (ltf) thinking for closure also Rbl reduced 90% card limit around 6-7 months ago
  11. Kotak leauge rupay(ltf)
  12. Kotak digital upi rupay (ltf)
  13. Indusind legend (ltf) has a surrogate select account with it which earlier used to give 20% off on bigbasket through debit card which is now stopped so thinking to close both accout and card
  14. Indusind rupay platinum (ltf) if i close legend will it be possible to transfer it’s limit into this card
  15. Idfc classic (ltf) kepping for railway lounge access
  16. Idfc powerplus (paid) don’t know why i applied for this card as i don’t own any kind of vehicle but still achieved it’s annual fee waiver for this year so hold it for now also has anyone tried to convert it into ltf
  17. Pnb rupay platinum (ltf) although i wanted rupay select but agent convinced me to apply this one for better appoval chances using occasionally on blinkit for 15% discount but not going to hold this for long
  18. Sbi ola (ltf) although this card is waste but keeping it for sbi offer during sales
  19. Sbi cashback (ltf) will not close
  20. Bob select (ltf)
  21. Bob snapdeal rupay (paid) after recent devaluation not able to decide to keep it or not

If u consider my opinion then close mentioning below...

Axis rewards, icici platinum (no use if u have coral), if u get tata infinity then good otherwise close tata neu plus , hdfc Swiggy (same no use if u have sbi cashback) , rbl shoprite (no use), indusind legend (service is bad, if u can adjust with service then keep it), indusind rupay, idfc power plus, sbi ola (faltu card), bob snapdeal (only few use snapdeal, so no use)...

HDFC Swiggy is good for Swiggy spend. Flat 10% after using other coupons. I do frequent orders from Instamart.

But keeping cards only for sake of ltf is worth it?? Even if most of the time it will remain idle

yes keep all of the LTF. as already by above suggestions from many dimers, no harm in keeping LTF cards:) just keep it:) as you are not using much of them you really dont have much to manage:)

if you used all the cards its headache to manage but you are using few cards and keeping LTF cards IDLE which is fine:) so keep them is my opinion too (no harm)

ONLY FOR PAID CARDS YOU CONSIDER UPGRADING OR CLOSING THEM (IF YOU ARE NOT USING)
