Credit cards in the '50s? No such thing.

Diner’s Club Credit card company was formed in 1950

and...

“Diner’s Club Credit card company was formed in 1950”

*********************

Don’t forget Carte Blanche cards!!!

Regardless, all credit card interest was tax deductible, whether a retailer’s card or national card. AND all sales tax was deductible, too, including that on car purchases! Now there’s a motivation to buy a new car!

Diner’s Club? What’s that? Seriously, Diner’s Club has never been a player in credit card circles. It never was accepted very many places. I don’t know its rules; I never had one. Probably the ONLY credit card I’ve never had. I think it was used by traveling saelsmen only. Never widely held.
