You Never Forget Your First Time....

If you remember way back to when you got your shiny new CC, what was your first charge?  It was Aug of 99, I was 17.  Mom cosigned on a Cap1 card with a $300 limit.  The purchase . . . couple of pairs of jeans.   Funny how I remember that like it happened yesterday

Mine was Signet Bank back in 1992.  Can't remember any purchases though...

Wells Fargo back in 1988 or so.  It was a late lunch at Denny's.

Back in 2000, spent about $100 of my $300 at Ross....buying clothes for myself and my sisters

$300 Cap1 in Feb 2011. Can't remember what I bought but it was probably a diet coke or something LOL. Fast forward 10 months and I'm putting plane tix to Costa Rica on my Barclays cc.

I ran my $300 limit Chase card right up to the limit at Marshalls.  Young and dumb and had no understanding of credit.  Bad times.

Likewise, I had no comprehension of "whatever you borrowed, you HAVE to pay back!"  LOL

Bought a $450 stereo on my Sears card when I was a senior in college ('96). Had the card for over a year before I ever used it. When I got my statement with the stereo on it I also noticed they had bumped my $500 limit to $1500. Still have the stereo...

Amex Green in 1979, to impress the girls!  

Do not remember first charge, but I used that card for everything!

1978 was a AU on a Amex gold card, car service charged in NY City! I was 18.
