Unless the annual fee is too high for your taste, there's no good reason to close it and many reasons not to. Closing it will hurt your credit score, so if you plan on financing a large purchase in the near future (car, house, etc.), then it's a bad idea. You're clearly using your credit responsibly, so you want to continue to do so. However if a large financed purchase is impossible in the next few years for whatever reason, then close the account since it won't do you any good.
