If you really don't want some credit cards, it's simple. Call the bank credit card hotline and cancel this card. Remember to cut off the card after cancellation to prevent it from being stolen.

Be sure to apply for a credit card according to your own needs. Don't blindly apply for a credit card because of the lure of salesmen or some intermediaries. When applying for a credit card, you must choose a bank outlet or a third-party institution authorized by the bank.

First, the annual fee is difficult to collect.

Under normal circumstances, there is no annual fee for banks that have not activated the gold card, but whether you activate the credit card or not, the annual fee for the platinum card will be charged correctly. Therefore, don't take it for granted that there will be no annual fee for applying for credit card deactivation. Moreover, although most banks stipulate that inactive credit cards do not charge an annual fee in the first year, they will charge an annual fee in the second year. The expenses incurred by an inactive credit card will be credited to the cardholder's account in the form of credit card arrears. Failure to repay credit cards on time will generate high interest and liquidated damages, and will also affect personal credit information.

Second, personal credit is affected.

After you apply for a credit card from the bank, the bank will check your personal credit information, and this record will be kept in your credit information system. If you apply for a credit card too much without using the record, the bank will think that you are suspected of maliciously handling the card. Moreover, the total number of cards and the total amount of credit you hold will change. When you really need a credit card, it is easy to be rejected by the bank.

Credit card applications, whether activated or not, will be recorded in the central bank's personal credit information center. If there are too many credit cards in your account, the bank will consider your debt ratio and repayment ability when you apply for a card next time, which will affect whether the bank approves your credit card application and credit card limit. Moreover, if you apply for a credit card from the same bank, then the bank is likely to reject your application. Therefore, if the credit card you applied for is not activated, it will affect the future card opening.

Third, it causes information leakage.

If there is someone with ulterior motives around you, after he knows your personal identity information, he will probably activate it under a pseudonym, because it is very simple to activate a credit card now, just know your ID number and hold your mobile phone for one minute.
