    Not unless it has an annual fee or a dormancy fee.

    it depends on the T&C for the card. If you signed up for one with an annual fee it will charge you whether you use it on not. A standard one with no fee will costs nothing to leave dormant but you could use it and pay it off in full each month to improve your credit history

    Ultimately depends on the terms of the individual card. Currently none of the Cap1 cards have any fees (standing or for non-use) that I am aware of
