Hi guys! I have not posted anything not in the approvals section in awhile,
but now I have a reason to break that streak. I was looking on an old
email site, that I do not use that much anymore, and found an alert from
Credit Karma. Said I had a new closed account on my Equifax
report. Go to the site and sure enough Barclays closed my Priceline rewards
card. Previously, during a very active credit card opening stretch, they CLD me
to about $1,500.00?? I posted about it around 6 months ago. Well they closed it and
left the comment "closed due to inactivity" Fair enough. I had only used it once for
a free night at a hotel when I opened it,and never since. I'm not shedding any tears
over this but am posting to share the data points and a reminder to use all your cards
once in awhile :-)
Cheers!

Yup, it does happen and it wasn't long ago another poster shared something similar:

Thank you for sharing that link @FinStar .I'm guilty of
being lazy with my credit and not making sure all the cards are
used at least a little. Makes me want to try a little harder.
Cheers

Thanks for reminding! I have a fingerhut card never used once and I need to buy something but everything is overpriced.

My 15 year Fingerhut card got no use since 2012 and in 2019 they threatened to close it. I bought a $7.99 long sleeved tee.

Glad it doesn't bother you. Care Credit (which I did not know I had) closed mine with the same remark. It recently fell off my report a few months ago. It must have been opened in the orthodontist office when my boys were little....a long time ago (2001).
On a different note: Have all of your BB&T cards reported?
My last one from mid Dec hasn't yet. Just wondering.
I received another offer, again, and I phoned them and asked how many duplicates can I have? Csr said they have ppl with two of each; some more. Lol!
Eyeing the Travel card now. Gotta wait on that last card to report and see what it does to my reports before I make that decision.
I never even asked for a Fingerhut account, yet it was opened and reported to CRs. They also kept threatening me of closure if i didn't use it.
So I didn't, and finally after a whole year they closed it. Never even looked back.
