I have a first direct card since 1997, however a few months ago I found out that the apr was cheaper on the gold card :snow_laug so I asked to be changed over, which they did! :snow_grinDebt free and plan on staying that way!!!!0

I've had a Barclaycard for 25 years. Only used for either 0% balance tfrs or spending small amounts that I can pay back in full. Am loathe to cancel it as I've had it for so long.0

My oldest is 4 years old, but it will have to go soon. I am not emotional about cards. As soon they have served their purpose, they are out. This one should have gone ages ago. It is an HSBC Platinum.Money in longest works hardest0

I have had a TSB credit card for nearly 28 years .Over that period of time it has been at different times stretched to it's limit I think the original limit was something like £400.00.It is now what they call a Platinum card and although the limit is £15.000 I am happy to say I don't owe them a penny. If I use it at all I always pay it when ever the bill comes in.As I am retired and live on a fixed income the thought of debt terrifies me. My daughter keeps saying I should get a cashback card as I usually use my switch card but I'm not sure if on my income a card company would accept me. I also have a barclay card that I have had for about 20 years ,and rarely if ever use it.
They are useful when I want to buy something online though
I have recently bought two Robbie Williams tickets for next September for me and my youngest daughter as a special treat.
She treated me to a trip to see U2 at Twickenham this year.
My grandkids call me their groovy gran as I am in my 60s
Age is a state of mind and I'm still very young at heart, no blue rinses for this old gal0 -
