Casual ConversationMy 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!
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.
I'm sure electronic cards are better, but that's pretty cool!
The cards are way better (less likely to get stolen/lost), but I kind of miss using those coin-like… voucher-tokens-coins-whatever.
I have my library card from 1991 still.
Blockbuster membership card.
I still have my blockbuster card.
...i still carry my county library card from 1982...
That’s fucking awesome and you should be proud! I love my library cards.
It's a small payslip from my first job. It's "only" 10 years old, but well.. only thing older than that that I keep that's not a photo or other obvious old thing (and actually in my wallet) is ticket from my first concert. Motorhead in 2009.
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.
My middle school student ID was my answer before I removed the storage attachment thing in my wallet. Now it's probably some old paper note junk from about a decade ago. That, or my high school first year ID.
1999 blockbuster card.
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..
My dead grandfathers Drivers License.
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...
My organ donor card
Local library card. Last time it was replaced was when they switched systems, since then I just have to take a piece of mail in when they email me. They scan the same card (but ask if I want a new one) and it just keeps working.
A ticket to the opening night midnight showing of The Phantom Menace.
I really don't know why I keep that thing around.
Although I keep my wallet light, there was a point where I found a DC Metro card mixed in with the insurance cards. I had not been to DC for over a decade.
Of course I forgot it when I went to DC the following year and had to pay $3 for a new card. Now they live together in my transportation card collection.
I've sill got my Mountain Equipment Co-op card from the year I spend in Calgary, in 1995.
Pour one out for pre-shittified MEC.
What happened?
Lol I have one of these too. I dont think they even do cards anymore. Its just your phone number
I have my college student id from 2001.
I no longer live in the state where that college is located.
I am now 40+ and cannot pass as a college student freshman.
I actually had hair on my head (I'm balding now) and no beard (Now I have a very respectable beard.
I keep it around for college discounts, but even then I don't think I've used it in the past 15 years.
Library card from a city I live in where near anymore. It's about 8 years old only
