Remember, you can keep a Chase Freedom card open with as little as a $500 credit limit. Unless there is some issue with maximum number of Chase cards you want to have open, I would try to keep one Freedom card open. I now have two Freedom cards and one Freedom Unlimited, I will convert my larger freedom to the Freedom Flex. I thought about applying for Freedom Flex eventually but I would rather use Chase slots to apply for cards like Hyatt, United, British Airways, etc.
