Re: I would really like to...

most cards are a year... are they all 0 balance? because making payments counts as activity.

 

i havent used my discover card in over 9 months, my capital one card in over a year... i dont think they'll be closed anytime soon tho.

 

honestly if you're not using them and if they have AF's just close them.


It doesnt hurt you to close them or if you let them close on there own.

I wouldn't worry about non-use this early into it. You've only gone (max) 3 months without use on some of them.

Re: I would really like to...

If you really have no more use for a card, then I'd close it.  But I wouldn't worry about inactivity unless atleast 6 months had passed, and not really until 12 months.
