The Freedom is a much older card (descended from my oldest Chase card) with a much lower credit limit. I also have the Freedom Unlimited which is a Visa. In any case, I might just leave it open. I've managed to make use of the 5% bonuses on all three of my Freedom 5% cards (2 Flex, 1 original) this quarter with Paypal.
