I have a friend who opened an Amex card with no AF two times and closed it after 1 year, and basically no spend after bonus. 1 hilton + 1 blue cash everyday card. She closed the hilton 2 years ago, blue cash 2 years before that one. She is now in pop up jail. I have read to spend money on your amex cards and it might help. She has no cards. So would it be worthwhile to open a card (like blue everyday cash?) without a bonus and put spend on it for 6 months or a year? has anyone tried that? Thank you for any suggestions!!
