What is your oldest card?

[Anonymous]

My oldest card is my cap one platinum card from 2007. Started life as a $99 secured for $200 cl regular cap one card. I don't even think they called them platinum back then but it's at its highest right now at $3000. I have only kept it around because it doesn't cost me an af and it's my oldest account.

I have a Visa from my credit union that I got in 1994. It has the same 1.5k  credit limit. It's a sock drawer card that has my home security payment auto billed every month to keep it open.

My oldest pre-BK was a Capital one card I got in 1998. (RIP 2014)

Target Red Card is currently my oldest - opened late 2015.

Thanks to the magic of Amex backdating, I have 3 cards dating back to different months in 1987.

My first card was the Wells Fargo Platinum card from 2001. My oldest open card is my Capital One VentureOne card from 2015. It started as a Cap One Platinum, then Quicksilver, then PC into VentureOne for the Hotels.com 10X promotion.

Oldest US card is my RBC Visa, from September 18.

Oldest Canadian card would be my Amex whatever kind it is, open October 2015. I just noticed the credit limit's been cut from 36,000 to 2,000 - I've never actually used the card, it's one of their no-fee cards I opened to replace an Air Canada Reserve I no longer needed.

Oldest card in occastional actual use is my Rogers MasterCard from 2016. My credit history goes back 26 years, but I churn cards a lot.

Correction: I don't know why credit karma has the limit reported wrong, but I just logged onto Amex Canada's site, and I still have 36k on my SimplyCash and 15k on my Everyday Essentials.

Actually I have a $25 credit sitting on one, (I think a referral bonus) so free lunch soon.

Oldest is my Cap1 QS that I opened in Feb 2010, before I moved to the US in July of that year

i am glad I thought ahead, since I lost all my good credit rating when I moved to a new country....

all Canadian cards have been closed.

Okay this gets a litte complicated. Technically my Pay-Pal Smart Connect (now defunct) was the first CC I applied for back in August 13' at the start of my rebuild--but that card got upgraded to a Mastercard 2 years later thus giving it a new account opening date. A few days after Smart Connect I was approved for my Sears store card--which was upgraded to Mastercard also in 2016--but kept the original opening date...so it's actually my oldest now. BUT--I applied for an AMEX BCE in January of 2015 one year and one month after my very first AMEX Green card--so they backdated BCE to January 2013 which on paper and my reports--shows as my oldest open card.
