CitiForward for Students (back when the reward system was still worth a damn!)
Intial limit 800 (now 2k)
Opened in 2009, I turned 18 a couple months before I opened it.
Yes, I still have it. But I've run up the card and so it sits idle on my bedside table while I square it away.
So long ago I honestly cant remember however I just recieved a letter from Cap1 thanking me for being a excellent customer for over 16yrs.

First Card: Carte Blanche
Credit Limit: None/NPSL
Year Opened: 1972 at age 21
Still Open?: No, unfortunately. I was young and foolish in those days, thought I was going to conquer the world, see the sights, yada yada. Didn't take care of it, and it was closed. Getting credit back in those days was a LOT different than today.
