Can credit card companies close your accounts without warning? How does it affect your credit score?

Sara asked:


I received a letter in the mail from Juniper (iTunes Rewards) stating that they have closed my credit card account due to inactivity. I opened the account about 18 months ago and have never actually used it. Can they close my account just like that without any warning? How should I handle the situation? (Is there anything I can even do?)

Also, I know that closing credit card accounts lowers your credit score. Does anyone know how much mine will be affected?

    Yes they can close your account “just like that.” To keep an account open, you need to use it once or twice a year, minimum.

    Each account is a potential borrower that they have to worry about funding. If you don’t use your account, they will close it and give your slot to someone else.
