Best Answer

If one's credit is already in good standing, using the credit card will not help. First, one may reduce their credit score depending on how much they spend. Second, the issuer may believe that fraud is at work since the card may not have been used in a while.

The main reason to use your credit cards occasionally is to keep the account open and avoid non-use fees. Some companies will close an account if the account is not used in some period of time. Also, they may charge a dormancy fee if the card is not used.
