Will AMEX slash my limit or close my card?

Hello all, I applied for the AMEX everyday card in August of this year. I was approved for a $4,000 limit and recently increased that to $10,500 via the 61 day CLI thing. I used it pretty regularly and paid in full every month. However, due to me PCing my BofA cash rewards to the better balance rewards (since they wouldn't let me have both), i applied for the AMEX blue cash everyday sometime mid october and was approved for $6,500.

basically, i have no more use for the Everyday and am only using my BCE (and freedom/sapphire) since at the time being, the cash back at the pump helps me more than membership reward points. I want to move over my Everyday limit to my BCE when my accounts are elegible to do that. however, this will be in about 10 months or so. Will american express close my Everyday account or cut my limit due to 10 months of inactivity? if so, i'd just carry it around with me and make one purchase a month. That just makes it harder to keep track of payments so i'd rather just keep it unused. anyways, any bits of info would help :]

Can you put a small monthly bill on it and set it up for Autopay?

I have gone over one year on my BCE without use multiple times without an issue.

Yes, me too.  Amex doesn't seem to close cards for non-use, maybe their once a member, always a member stuff!

We can't say for certain.  I'd guess it to be unlikely.
