Reports on FT indicate otherwise.

+1. MSers of all shapes and sizes were shut down.

As little as 5k/mo has been shut down. Most of you know me by now that if when I get shut down you will know it. I have nothing to hide.
I just found a new supply of forks!

I'm praying that that day never comes for you.

AmEx A/A'ing Blue Cash Cards

Is there any reason to proactively close my card? Only used this card lightly (2500/m)

Edit: also, closing on my house could be delayed if credit score goes down.

What would you gain from proactively closing it?

Wouldn't be listed potentially as closed by lender on report. And I don't think I'll be using the card for MS in the future so I don't have much use for it.

You don't have much to lose closing it,  but have a potential loss if you don't..... no brainer here

I haven't seen any reports here actually saying it's closed. Maybe a wiki with some statistics would help to find some patterns? I'll start:

Card still open or closed? Open
Age of card? Just under one year
Approximate monthly volume? $5k-$10k
Last large 5% purchase? 10/12/14
Last any purchase 10/22/14
FTFY

If you shifted over CL would your score still go down ?

Some of these comments are pretty funny! http://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/2014/10/22/amex-shuts-down-old-blue-cash-accounts/

Love the comment how the shutdowns were concocted by FT so people stop applying/using the BC card.
But hey, maybe its true, you never know.
