I have an ExxonMobil Preferred card (upscale version of their gas card). I got it for the travel rebate benefits (rebates on hotels, airlines, etc.) This justifies the $29 annual fee.

However, the CSR said that the $29 fee does not count as "activity" on that card, and I need to buy gas once or twice a year to keep it active.

This is a traditional gas card with no rewards. Is it worth putting maybe $10 on it four times a year to keep it active? I do have about 6 rewards cards.
