Inactivity

[j0hnny]

Is putting my Netflix auto payment enough to keep a credit card active?  It is roughly $10 a month.  I would hate for them to close this account.

Thanks,

That should be fine.

Absolutely. A small charge every month should keep any card open (except possibly AMEX because who knows what they've been doing lately).

Yes - I have something on every one of my cards so they all show activity every month

Yes, I am doing something like that too.  I am paranoid enough about closures that I am now using each card at least once every month. It's easiest if you have some recuring monthly charge where you can set it up for the card and then have the card automatically paid every month.  Simple.

I do a bunch of utilities on Amex. a couple of charitable donations on my CU card, netflix on my Chase
