The very first credit card I ever had was from Sears. I was young and wet behind the years. But wow, a credit card! They actually accepted my application! That was when credit cards were not particularly common. I kept that card for decades.

But what finally soured me was they spun off their credit card operations to Citbank. The card said Sears but the billing was from Citbank. Now I was a loyal Sears customer for many years and didn't give a damn about Citibank. They were nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. I had good feelings about carrying my Sears card, my first credit card. Citibank? Meh.

Yep - there it is. That’s what did it for me, too.

Made me walkaway from them almost completely.

Our first credit card was a Sears (Master)card. We’ve had it since 1977.

I can’t remember the last time we actually used it at Sears.
