i've seen posts of closure indicating less than 3 months of non use. i would try to use it at least every other month (or even once a month really) if possible since hsbc seems to leading the pack on snap closures (in any case you wouldn't want to let it get past 89 days of nonuse if you wanna keep it for sure) good for you for taking a stand on hsbc. i am sometimes baffled by their apparent popularity considering how they handle accts.
I wonder can you use the card to buy candy or soda they have at the registers? If so that would be great use for the card lol

Last time I was there I spent $2.12 on paperclips and a paperclip holder. For a couple of weeks prior to that purchase I had trouble finding paperclips everytime I wanted one, so a smart cheap purchase that kept my card active.
I thought most store cards will never close out, they will just go dormant on credit report or lower cl but would stay open.
I know I'm lucky to use my American Eagle card once a year and they have never closed or cld it.
