Reader AR received an email from AmEx with information that they’re closing out his inactive authorized-user cards. This is despite the primary card being used and remaining active in good standing.
We haven’t heard much about AmEx closing out inactive cards in the past. From a search, I learned of some chatter about them closing out inactive accounts, though it’s not clear how much that’s actually materialized.
The surprise here is that they’ll also close out dormant authorized user cards on an active account.
At least they give an email headsup in advance, and you can then put a charge on the card to avoid the closure.
