I just saw that FTG had a post yesterday that gives an overview of the various CC issuers and guidelines for dealing with each:

I already have 2 Chase credit cards-- the Chase Freedom and Chase Slate cards.
I don't want to get rid of my Chase Slate card, as it is the oldest card I have, dating back to 1998, which helps my credit history. However, what should I do with my Chase Freedom card once I get the Chase United Mileage Plus and Chase Sapphire cards? Should I cancel it? I've only had this card for about 1 year.
