My Auto Zone Rewards card is from 2007, hard to think that the card is close to 20 years old now. Last time I used it, I used it to scrape glue off the side of a truck LOL!

    I have a fortune cookie fortune that I got in 90s. It just says “Good fortune” and I’ve never been able to decide if it’s a prediction or a self-review. For whatever reason, I’ve just kept moving it from wallet to wallet for 30 years.

    I don’t know how y’all manage that. I’m always looking to thin things out and move unused cards to a drawer and eventually the shredder/trash. I think my US passport card is probably the oldest thing in my wallet.

      I was thinking the same thing, I keep three cards. My ID, insurance card, and a credit card. Nothing else

        ID, credit, debit, transit, auto insurance, health insurance…

        On topic, I did recently stop carrying a phone card - back before cell phones, you could buy a card, call an 800-number from a pay phone, enter the card number, and make long distance calls. My parents gave me 1200 minutes when I went to college in the late 1980s, and the card still has, probably 1000 minutes. Last used it probably around 2002.

      Meh, I just finally did some wallet spring cleaning and thinned out my load quite a bit, but decided to keep this card anyways, as I still have plenty enough space for it. Hey, it makes a good glue scraper, plus I can’t remember what phone number my AutoZone account is registered to, so hopefully they can still scan it and figure it out the next time I go by there…

    Not posting a picture of mine because it’s extremely eroded, plus I’ve been posting it in social media as a curiosity, but I got one of these:

    That “weird coin” used to be a bus ticket in my city, Curitiba, in the 90s. You’d insert it into a turnstile inside the bus to get access to the seats. Nowadays they got replaced with electronic cards.

        The cards are way better (less likely to get stolen/lost), but I kind of miss using those coin-like… voucher-tokens-whatever.

      I have something like this. It’s a toll booth coin to get across the man made causeway and onto the island I live on. We used to have to pay to get home. The toll booths were removed in the early 90’s.

    Hey, at least your auto-repair card is getting used for auto-repair!

    Mine is a shooting range membership card I haven’t been a member of for a few years now. (Just throwing this out now, thank you for the reminder!)

      LMFAO, hell yeah! 👍

      That’s been a number of years ago, but yeah it’s still my card and the account number on the back is still good. But now they just go by your phone number, if only I could remember what phone number its registered to…

    Dang you guys are crazy (in a good way). Oldest thing in my wallet is only a bit over 2 years old, and it is an arcade card I still use semi-regularly wherever it is accepted… I do have older cards too but they are all sitting at home in a binder

    Blood type card. Completely worn from age, even though I’ve never needed it.

    I’ve sill got my Mountain Equipment Co-op card from the year I spend in Calgary, in 1995.

          It used to be co-op (see: the name) but it got taken over by a fecking American corporate board without even compensating the co-op members. A bunch of employees quit and I know I will never buy anything from them again.

          edit: Heh, it used to be a running joke that when you travel, Americans are wearing Canadian flags, but Canadians are wearing MEC gear. :) That is no longer the case, since MEC gear is a) shit and b) American-owned, but I repeat myself.

    A ticket to the opening night midnight showing of The Phantom Menace.

    I really don’t know why I keep that thing around.
