$0 balance and never missed a payment and had credit limit decreased

Long story short:
1) balance on a Banana Republic card
2) never missed a minimum payment, paid off in full 1/2013
3) have not used since, and no major changes in credit score besides buying a used car
4) Banana republic cuts my limit by 75% this past month
I don't have a very high 'total credit limit' to begin with, but would like to simply cancel the card. I have a 740+ credit score. what overall hit will I take to my credit score and how long will that last?

I'd close that POS card.
The store CCs are the worst to have in your wallet.

Buy yourself a pastel v-neck on it every six months and pay it off.

The trade will still report and will not influence your credit. As someone else stated, store cards are not the greatest thing to have in your wallet.

Store cards are easy to get but they aren't going to just let you keep it in your wallet and build your credit history with no balance on it. They pretty much have a use it or lose it policy.
