Leaving them open is better for your credit score though.

However, if they begin charging an annual fee, they have to notify you, and you cancel it at that point.

I knew that but he made reference to not wanting it, so I was just sayin.....

Not if you don't use them. To maximize your score, leave them open and charge a little on it now and then to show activity. About a month before - one billing cycle - you go for a major purchase, have a small, not zero, balance on as many as possible.
