It is a fact that card companies are canceling dormant or unused cards. They are not making any money on the card if it isn't used. They will extend that credit to someone else who will use it - that is how they make money. They can only extend so much credit and to have it "wasted" on someone who is not using it is not a fiscally sound business plan.

I too was unaware of this until about 2 years ago when a card I kept just for emergencies was canceled without notice.

Spreading misleading information and blatant falsehoods is intellectually dishonest. Your ire is also misdirected.
