I"m just personally not comfortable with autopay. I want control of who gets paid what when. What if fhere is a mistake in a bill and it drains my account and things bounce?

It's not that hard to fill your tank with a different card each time, or use different ones for groceries so they get some use.

No system is perfect and mistakes can certainly be made. That's why I check all my accounts everyday so that there are no surprises. I schedule the charges and payments far enough in advance to catch and correct any problems.

I've done this for years and have never experienced any kind of problem but everyone has to find what seems to work best for them.

From a BK years ago to:
EX - 3/11 pulled by lender- 835, EQ - 2/11-816, TU - 2/11-782

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I've only used my crap one card once in the last year. 

Do many companies do this? I'm only concerned because it's my oldest line.

Yes they do, I would consider running one small charge through it monthly if you don't plan on actively using it.

GE ( Walmart, JCP, Lowes, etc.) will do this. I recently had a Art Van ( furniture store) acct closed by them for 1 yr of inactivity. I mean, how often does one buy furniture anyway?
