One of my cards has no rewards but is pretty big, so I keep it alive by having one small recurring bill autopay from it.

We have 6 months expenses set aside as an “emergency” fund in a combination of savings and CD. I don’t want that money tied up in investment that might need to be sold in the middle of a recession. The last time we might have needed to tap it was in 2008 / 2009 when the company I worked for went bankrupt and shut down. Not a time to sell
