I "closed" it again about a month, and it finally shows as closed on my credit reports.

You have to get out of every G-account to be able to avoid it posting under your account. Stupid, but that's Google for you. Try using Chrome for browsing Blogger sites, with nothing else open in the browser, and use Firefox or IE for your actual Gmail account, etc.<br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-19134722765959951742013-12-08T16:49:11.937-05:002013-12-08T16:49:11.937-05:00I can assure you that BoA will eventually figure o...I can assure you that BoA will eventually figure out that you aren't making them any money and drop the card in its entirety. I ditched BoA and moved to a regional bank because they made the requirements to stay fee-free on my (very) small business account. My financial adviser/planner/stockbroker told me that BoA would love to get rid of every individual account they have - deposit accounts, savings, checking, credit cards - and stick entirely with mortgages and other paper wealth.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-79967913751333407392013-12-08T09:29:16.139-05:002013-12-08T09:29:16.139-05:00I have just the opposite problem - I have a card t...I have just the opposite problem - I have a card that I have tried to close as I never use it but I keep getting statements.

They just told me that I could reapply if I really wanted the card and they would reconsider. I usually had an average balance of $500 but the card had a $2,500 limit and I paid the minimum balance faithfully, on-time every month. They were making a ton of interest off me so I have no idea why they closed it. I paid off the balance entirely the month after they closed the account and haven't had a credit card since. Too much of a hassle, especially if they are going to end up closing it anyways. I don't think I would ever have dealings with BoA again after the horror stories I've read about them. Yikes!<br /><br />P.S. I hate Blogger - I do not want my real name shown. Even after I delete my comment and re-post it with a nickname, my real name is still posted.

Merchants pay processing fees for the privilege of accepting your major credit card. Every time you swipe your card, the issuer earns some revenue.This is why rewards cards exist, the issuer wants you to choose their card, even if you aren't paying them any interest. (Though of course, they would prefer that you did).Petunia 100https://www.blogger.com/profile/11419094642410711334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-73376324308535423792013-12-07T19:56:08.749-05:002013-12-07T19:56:08.749-05:00You'd think the stores would have more interes...You'd think the stores would have more interest in keeping the card open - even if they are not earning interest, at least the person is making purchases at their store, rather than spending their money somewhere else.One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-11003223696316331442013-12-07T15:40:11.079-05:002013-12-07T15:40:11.079-05:00I have had store credit cards closed when I haven&...I have had store credit cards closed when I haven''t used them in years.
