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 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..
How often are you scraping glue?
About once every 7 years or so.
Good news though, I just got the card reactivated under my current phone number! 👍
Now it's not trash!
