In most cases, cancelling a credit card won't help your credit reputation.
The most important question is: How would your life change if you filed for bankruptcy?
Question: I have about $2000 in my savings account and $1800 on a credit card. Should I use most of my savings to pay off the credit card?
Minimum payment is probably the best trap in the credit card world. Card issuers make it seem so easy: even if you owe thousands of dollars, you could settle that monthly bill with a minimum payment that’s just a small percentage of your actual balance. Minimum payments can be as low as 1% of balance, so you could pay less than $100 on a balance that’s in the four digits!

From loyalty points to travel insurance, the list of reward benefits attached to credit cards is mind-boggling.
