If I can find some proof, I had an AMEX card in the late 70's that is still (can you believe it) on my CR. I just can't find a statement for proof and AMEX doesn't have any record of it so they will not back date me to 1979.
That is what I am holding out for, 4 cards with 30+ years of history.
If it is still on your reports, pull your full Experian report from annualcreditreport.com. There is an account number on that report that can be used to locate your account. It isn't the same thing as your Amex account number, it is a number that is specially generated for the report for security purposes. And it has a different number of digits than a typical Amex account number, so it may confuse some CSRs. But using that number, they were able to find my account that they could not find with my name and SSN.
I have two Amex cards dating back to 1982 
None, please thank my ex-wife for getting one of our checks put on telecheck.
I thank her everyday for the 7 year blessing she has bestowed upon me LOL
Next year it falls off, oh well. You make descisions and you live with them.
