I've had the Barclay's acct much longer, going back to about 2000, and the Citi card for about 5 years.

Any advice please! Thanks

I recommend keeping the Barclay's card due to the longer credit history and larger credit limit. You can downgrade the Citi Platinum AA Mastercard to a no annual fee Citi AA Gold Mastercard (https://creditcards.aa.com/citi-gold...es-cardmember/), or convert to a Citi Custom Cash card (I've done this with my Citi Platinum Mastercard in the past), if you prefer to keep the account history and credit limit, but just want to get rid of the annual fee.
