Oldest card ? From which lender ? Mine ? It would be the Wells Fargo college credit card I got back in 13 when I got my first CC when I was 20-21 & still have it to this day obviously but doesn’t really get any use .. never had problems with Wells , they just never give me credit increasements though lol
My PNC Points, opened 2/1/07, according to Chase Credit Journey.
Freedom #1 from 2013, $600 SL.
Technically, my oldest card is my Chase Freedom, which started out as a WaMu card that I obtained in February 2008. It was my second card after my BK7.
However, I was took advantage of backdating when it was still a thing with AmEx in 2014, so my AmEx Plat and AmEx BCE appear to have been opened in December 2000.

Wow crazy, have you ever been hit with an Amex FR? Haha
It was a thing AMEX did years ago before they discontinued doing it. They'll backdate your Member Since date but it's purely cosmetic now

Yes, I eked in about 4 months before they stopped doing it. Oh, the golden days. 👵🏼
ETA: Wow, that's been almost 5 years since the stopped. How time flies.
My oldest card I still have is my Capital One QS. Started life as a $300 Platinum 3/2014 and is $8250 now. My next oldest card is my Disco It I got in 3/2018.
Oldest open card is my CapitalOne VentureOne. Opened 5/15 as a QS1 @ 1k, now 5k. Funny, because as I remember my first ever credit card was a Cap1 platinum (or whatever they called it back then) opened around '03 which ended up being a CO lol. (I paid them back though!)
I'm a newbie to the game, oldest card (by 2 days) is my Citi Costco Visa, at 21 months.
