    Credit Cards were introduced in 1950, 73 years ago. Retail stores and oil companies were issuing limited credit cards during the 1920s

        The first actual credit card was The Diners Club Card in 1950. American Express arrived in 1958. How we use them today was really introduced in the 1990s though.

            Take a deep breath mate, no reason to get so worked up. Pretty sure both of you guys mostly agree with each other, just getting caught up in semantics at this point. Give each other a break :)
