I have a Halifax Easycash account which is held solely to get a Visa Electron card.
Back in the day, I could use this on certain websites to avoid credit/debit card surcharges.
Now that these (upfront) surcharges are out of the window, is there any point in me retaining this account?

I'd say it depends on how many other cards you have.

I like to be sure that I have at least 2 active cards and that at least 1 is a Visa and 1 a Mastercard.

Two reasons for this, a) I've been places (in Europe) where they didn't take one or the other and b) I've had card machines fail to recognise the chip in a card and so had to use another - used to be quite common with machines at our railway station.

This Electron card stays in a wallet in a drawer, and hasn't been used for a couple of years.
I have Visa debit, Visa credit and Mastercard credit cards available to me.

I think the Electron card has no benefits now so I'll look to close the account.
