There really isn't a difference in scoring on who closes a card while it's in good standing - only when a creditor closes it for being overlimit or delinquent, and it then proceeds into chargeoff and/or collections.
For me, I don't use most of my store cards very often either - just if they're giving free shipping or something on the websites or sometimes around the holidays to spread the balances around until they are paid off. I have never really considered closing any of them myself, though, mainly because some of them (and of course, it's the ones I never use anyway) have my oldest account ages. Of course, none of them have annual fees or any of that kind of thing to fuss with. I only have a couple that are Comenity cards, and I haven't had any of them close yet with the recent wave of shutdowns from them, but if they did I wouldn't be upset. I figure at this point it's just a collective lump of unused available credit that does nothing but help with age of account and utilization averages.
