HUCA a few times but only managed to have them waived the annual fees. Couldn't even get a reasonable explanation why the accounts were closed. Beyond losing the CLs, we weren't too upset about this as we just burned most of our AA miles and moved our currency to something else.
Oh well.
My Barclays cards were also closed recently while I was traveling abroad. I'm not a heavy MSer, but I was loading my (now closed) SoftServe $1500 a month with my World arrival card for about 18 months. And I bought a few Amex gift cards back when we could get cash back on $2000 cards via portals. I never cycled my limit. I also had two Aviator cards that I rarely used. I got the letter saying that my accounts were closed based on a review of my account activity. It isn't a huge loss, but I hope I'm not banned for life by Barclays.
