I now have a buckles card, a walmart card, and a capitol express Visa. Between the three of them, my score almost instantly dropped from 669 to 640!! *gasp* These are my first cards so I'm hoping they will help my scores rise over the next year (hopefully faster??) and anyway, I noticed that Buckles sells products that strike me as cheap looking and simultaneously overpriced. I'm really disappointed, but I can't find anything in their store that I actually want. I imagined at least purchasing a cheap excessory once a month to show credit usage, but there isn't anything I want. I forced myself to buy an ugly 10$ headband that probably wouldn't sell for 3$ at Walgreens just so a purchase and payment would be recorded. But now, I'm wondering if it would do any harm to just ignore the card and let it sit with a zero balance forever?
Starting Score: 630
It won't do any harm but if you let it sit a couple mind they could cancel it which would then affect your score
Check your cardmember agreement on how long you can go without a purchase before they close the account. I've never heard of one that needed monthly usage, most are a year or more.
So, perhaps you could get away with only buying ugly head bands as Christmas gifts 
You can do that. Eventually they may close your account due to non-use, but it will still report for 10 years after closure.
I had a GE/Care Credit account that sat unused for 6 years before they closed it.

I have never been to a buckle. I just searched for it and it looks like a clothing store.
You can probably buy a pair of socks, a white tshirt, or a pair of underwears once a year to keep the card active. Since these are your first cards I would just keep them.
Find out if its every 6 months or 1 year. i would wait for others to post just to be sure
