When I was taking a shower last night for a party I put on the radio and Clark Horwad was on (wanted to qualify that I do not usually listen ot Clark Howard usually in the morning it's news and traffic).

This was his subject, that many of the credit card companies are closing affinity cards like this example, without any notice. For many travel people, it's happening in the middle of their trips.

He was recommending that you balance out use on your cards so that none of them are inactive, using each card at least every six months, and if you only have one or two cards, to get another one or two so that you have three major cards just in case.

So yes, it's happening, enough to make the call in radio shows.
