I don't like to close cards unless I move most of the available credit to other cards.
I sometimes keep Chase cards open to use as a bargaining chip if I get declined for a card. Calling their reconsideration # and offering to close cards/move credit limit to the new card(s) has ALWAYS worked for me in the past.
