Back then, it also came with a substantial annual fee.... that alone was enough to keep me from considering it, even if I had had the required
income level, which I didn't...
I'm sure you remember as well when having any sort of credit card
was a status symbol. Not many had them.
Even having a gas station card was something.
Local/regional department store cards were valued.
Now everyone has one.
Take car phones.
I knew a guy when in college 40+ years ago who had a car phone
(forget why, something to do with business I think) and everyone
thought that was something.
And cell phones when they first came out, the huge ones. That was
really something as well.
