When you clear S1 they will ask for it.

Isn&#39;t it in your name? <br />Do be sure to pay it off because the services will tell them where you live and if you don&#39;t it&#39;s stealing. Maybe after you pay it off just close it using the phone number on the back then cut it up.

No one ever asked for it.

But the account is in your name so keeping the account open can help with your credit score if needed since it is available credit even if you can&#39;t use it.
