19 years?
Cancel and 2 years later you can get 40-60,000 miles with a new card. Worth $600-$900 in WN flights. Way better than that pesky annual fee.

19 Years.
I can not image any card worth keeping for 19 years with a fee.
Wait - there is one. The IHG card gives me a free hotel night each year. Though - the recent reduction has me thinking twice about that.
I do have the higher WN card now, with the higher fee. The annual bonus and 4 upgrades does make that one worth it for us - as long as we are still flying WN on a regular basis.

Interesting how now the discussion turns to me being dumb for paying an annual fee for 19 years, when a plethora of the previous posts were suggesting I didn't deserve one, and that Chase rarely waives the annual fee, etc.. I'm assuming that each of you have successfully, after a cogent explanation to the representative, had the fees waived for each year you have held the card, since you are suggesting that I have been taken advantage of financially by the credit card company. So on one hand, most of you believe that Chase should not waive an annual fee to a loyal customer, then on the other hand you suggest I am stupid for paying an annual fee for 19 years.

I thought cancelling ones only card isn't good for credit score. Surprised at the lack of decorum on this thread. Where are the moderators?

I can not imagine having only one card - even if you are not collecting points.
We travel often and I carry at least two cards in case one goes bad. My wife carries two other cards as well.
Not sue, but I would think that having NO credit cards is not going to get great for a credit score.

I submit that the people with the least reading "comprehension" are those who didn't read enough to realize that this your only card, and then make comments based on only partial information.
