if they tell me I get very little points is there even a point in keeping the card?
It is generally bad to close any card right after you got it. The had pull on your credit report has already happened and closing the card cannot automatically remove it. Even if you get less than 50k (and I doubt it), keep the card for 6+ months then cancel if you wish to do so.
