    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_grin

    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.
  • 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 hardest
  • 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 gal
  • had my halifax card for 6 years. was originally a cashback mastercard but is now a cashback one card. unlike their current account, the halifax have always given me good deals and customer service with the card.
