    As a result of the Bank One--Chase merger (if it goes through) I hope I can combine my Bank One Visa ($14,500 Limit) with my Chase Perfectcard ($13,000 limit) to have only the Chase PerfectCard (Mastercard) for a combined limit of $27,500.

    Chase said this will probably be ok, once the merger goes through.

    The question is: Are two credit cards, with two separate limits better on your credit score than one MasterCard with a large limit made up of the smaller two limits? Or does it make a difference?

    The Chase card has a better reward program than the Bank One Visa, so as long as the merger goes through, I see no reason not to combine them.

    Is there a reason?

    IT MAY or MAY NOT be good to combine the cards...I'M GONNA DO IT ON MY BANK ONE CARDS THOUGH BEFORE CHASE TAKES OVER...

    4 INTO 1 "JOINT" (BANK ONE)

    THEN 2 INTO 1 "JOINT" WITH CHASE I "THINK"

    BANK ONE 3 MINE
    BANK ONE 1 HERS
    CHASE 1 HERS

    "IF" one card gives you a GREAT BT RATE...the other card might not...

    I had a BETTER OFFER on AMEX BLUE # 2 THAN I DID WITH AMEX BLUE # 1
