https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/PayPal-Subscription-to-Keep-Cards-Active/m-p/5356458#M1589271 I’m currently gardening 6-7 cards and then I have a couple I actually use. To show activity on the ones currently in my nightstand drawer, I’m thinking about putting a small Amazon Subscribe and Save item on each and setting up auto pay.<BR /><BR />I can probably find 7 items I want/need anyway, but I was watching the Beat The Bush YouTube channel and he says he subscribed his cards to a PayPal subscription through one of his accounts. Just $1-$2 every month to show activity.<BR /><BR />Is that...Allowed? I’m thinking it may fall in the gray area because it could be considered a workaround cash advance.<BR /><BR />Just looking for an easy way to build some solid credit usage history <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://ficoforums.myfico.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /> Thu, 13 Sep 2018 16:11:29 GMT Anonymous 2018-09-13T16:11:29Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/PayPal-Subscription-to-Keep-Cards-Active/m-p/5356458#M1589271 I’m currently gardening 6-7 cards and then I have a couple I actually use.
