right before i went off to college, i received a capital one card with a $500 limit. while at college (for the whopping 5 months i made it), i applied for & received an MBNA card with a $1000 limit. both charged off about a year later. not as responsible as i thought 
1965 M/C . . . . Closed in 1972 (when I got divorced). Wish I still had that on my credit report
Starting Score: TU 737 EQ 721
Had a bunch of gas cards, late 60's.
First modern-type CC: 1975. Bank of America "Bankamericard", morphed into Visa subsequently.
Card looked just like what became the yellow-white-blue Visa logo. No memory of CL, nor of
circumstances of applying. At that time, I was a graduate student in California. Still have that
card, my oldest account.
My first credit card was a Discover card that my mother co-signed for issued back in 1989 limit was $3000
I felt like I was on top of the world that was big for a 17 y/o back then. Shortly there after I applied to a bank called Harris Bank for a Visa and was approved on my own for 1,500 I was working at The Golden Arches at the time with a salary of about 5.85 hr those were some tough days. I don't know if Harris bank is still around but they had some new bank products they were always sending something to me in the mail pre-approval this pre-approval that.
I'll have to check it out.
haha...it was 2001, my freshman year of college and i signed up in front of our school library. it was for the discover student card, $1000 limit, which eventually got changed to my discover more
1991: Discover card. I wanted the free water bottle and backpack. 
They had a table set up in front of the student center at college. I was approved, and the card has grown with me over the years. Back when I first applied, it was hardly accepted anywhere.
