I'd still recommend keeping the credit card account open, but charging small amounts on that card monthly to avoid the non-usage fees. For example, I have one credit card that I use just for gas. The monthly balance is never that high, which I always pay off in full, and it allows me to maintain my credit history on that card. Hi John – Great question!
