<prompt> Human: Hi all,Just got a notice from AMEX that they are planning on closing a CC account for inactivity.I havent used the thing for almost ten years, frankly. Its got a sub-1000 limit. Ive since moved onward and upward.Thing is, its my first credit card. Dont get me wrong, not getting sentimental here in the least. Im just curious because it pre-dates my next oldest by a few years.I have excellent credit, already own a house and am generally stable in my life and family. My other lines of credit far outstrip this OG AMEX.Is my credit going to take any sort of significant hit with this? Im likened to just let it lapse and close, so Im more looking for reasons why I would want to keep the card vs not.Input appreciated.Edit: Now have an AMEX and MC with limits that far exceed our needs. Current AMEX is a bank card backed by them, proposed closure one is directly from AMEX.  <response>: Your positive payment history will remain on your credit report, and will contribute to your average age of accounts until 10 years from the date of closure.
