What's your oldest CC

Synchrony Bank Chevron card which is over 33 years old. It's my lowest CL but it's my precious, my precious.

Currently it is an NFCU card issued in 1987. It has been product changed at least twice by NFCU over the years. I recently closed an Exxon card issued in 1974 back when gas cards were a big deal. Gas cards are pretty useless nowadays. I also recently closed a PenFed card issued in 1993.

2.5 years, because for over a decade all I had was a local CU CC and they closed it down on me, forcing me to get another card 2.5 years ago. At the time the card was about 14 years old and was my oldest account. This is a major reason why I never recommend anyone have just 1 credit card and why I never will put all my eggs in one basket again.

In less than two months, My Capital One Venture One World MasterCard will be 20. My first and oldest credit card.

My first card was a local CU CC and it will be 4 years old in March 2018...

Saw the first CLI (was an auto-cli) on it for 1500 this month....

Thanks to the wonders of backdating, my oldest cards are 4 Amex (one closed) dated to various months in 1987.

Freedom at 4 years.

I was a debit guy in college. A bit disorganized, though. Had I been using credit cards, I probably would have had a few lates tbh.
