I thought Montgomery Ward was bought a decade ago?

how long have you had it? it might be a hidden tradeline where it will report only when you default on it

I so thought they went out of business about 10-15 years ago

I have had it since November 2014, used it in December 2014, and still nothing.

Certainly  a name from the past.

They even have a retail brick and motar presence or online only?

Wards is an online/catalog service now.  I think its owned by the company that also owns Swiss Colony and a slew of other online/catalog stores.  I have their card, but it doesn't report (unless you default or miss payments).  You can get credit line increases by using it a few times and paying it off.

I'd try Fingerhut first, that does report.

They do not report, Neither does Stoneberry or Massey's.
