Remember, shutting down cards can adversely affect your credit score because you are now using a greater percentage of available credit. Better to just keep it in a draw and use it every 5-6 months for a small charge to keep it active.

Catherine, that is exactly the message I tried to describe in the first post. The only thing that fixed it was to mark every single forum as read, whether or not it was. No problems since then.

No worries. We've all been there, and I've eaten my share of egg, more lately than ever. Someday soon I'll explain why I've been MIA more, not that that's all bad, and have had some fuzzy thoughts on some answers too.

A lot of my statements now only show the last four digits of the card. BoA does show all. I keep meaning to shut that card down ('cuz I detest BoA) and keep forgetting to do it. Maybe this fall!
