I've got a Chase card I use very infrequently. If it goes about a year with no usage I receive a letter saying they are going to close it unless I make a charge. So I charge something to it, that refreshes the usage timer, and I move along. It has been cycled like this for about three or so years now.

So? Proper usage of a credit card says you never carry a balance over a statement cycle therefore whatever the magical setting of the "credit limit" happens to be is immaterial unless the new limit is so low you can not purchase anything without going over that limit.
- perl4ever 6y agoLooking back at the last 20 years or so, it's never or almost never happened to me, and when it happens twice within a year or two, I wonder if it's more than coincidence...it makes me wonder if there are economic forces tightening credit.
