Oldest Card?

[JustMe77]

The oldest card I have that I use more than 1-2x/month is my BR Visa. It's only been open since October 2011. I won't use it as much now that I have Chase Freedom, but I like it because I buy a lot of clothes at BR for work.

My oldest card (now closed) was my Bank of America Alaska Airlines card, opened in August 2002. It was my only card for a very long time.

This will definitely reinforce how old I've become.  

Oldest is Amex from 1988.

My oldest card is my BofA Visa signature which I got back in 2002. It originally was a Visa Platinum, but then was converted after my original card (Banking Benefits) was discontinued. I use it to pay for monthly subscriptions just to keep the account active, but that's about it.

I only apply for new credit every few years or so, and only when I need something different because my life has changed. I just turned 30 a few months ago, so I figure I can be patient in my applications. Time is on my side.

Would have been my AmEx Platinum (1978) if you mean a major card, but I closed that when they increased the AF from $300, so... Macy's  store card 1977-78 based on my credit report, but the Macy's card actually used to be a Hecht Company card which originally was a "Central Charge Card" from 1970.

Yes, just oops When I got the invite for some reason I mistook it for an offer from Cap1 (THIS is where I learned to research any card BEFORE applying LOL, well, in this case, even accepting....).  The logo's look nearly exact, being I got an offer from each about the same time I think I thought it was 2 different cards from Cap 1 (the Credit One offering a better line, which turned out to be a bit different than expected lol).  Luckily that mistake caused me to warn others as well as avoid a Merrick offer. Live and learn

My oldest, Amex 1979. Green to Gold then closed after a few years as I got tired of the AF.

Next, USAA Plat MC, opened the first year they started offering the card, I think 2002 or 2003. Some one may correct me on that.

In between, numerous cards that I closed as I paid them off. I was not smart with my spending at that time. No lates, no baddies, nothing. Perfect payment record.
