How often should I use NFCU LOC?

I have 2 LOC with NFCU.  One for 15K and my husband has one where I am the co-signer for 7K. It's been 6 months since we have used it and quite frankly we don't really need to use it now, but I do not want them to close it for non-usage.  It's nice to have in case we ever need it.

 

How often should we use it?

 

Thanks

Whenever you need it. They won't close it for non use. I just used mine's after a year of no usage.

Banks and CUs are less likely to close an LOC for nonuse because there isn't really a transaction fee revenue stream attached, like there is for CCs

Only when needed, as stated already. They should not close it being that they are a CU. So, you can continue to manage it smartly as you wish.

Not an issue as pointed out but you can always confirm policy on closure due to lack of activity directly with each of your creditors.
