My question, do all credit card companies do this? Do you swipe your credit cards few times every 6 months or a year, instead of letting it sit in a drawer?
Thanks.
Many cards say they will close inactive accounts, yes. Worth a call to say thanks for reminding me about the card, is it too late to go buy something with it.
