Minimum activity needed to keep a CC active

[Anonymous]

I have a 10yr old MasterCard I got at my local credit union that I want to keep active. What is the minimum amount or frequency of use needed to make sure they don't close it? 

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum 

All lenders are different and sometimes this info can be found in the T/C 

General time period tho every 3 months would be good

OK. Perfect. I will autopay the Netflix on it and call it a day. Thank you sir.

Auto paying a small, recurring charge is a great way to ensure that the card doesn't get closed.

One purchase every three or four months, or a recurring payment and you're set!
