Universe/Universal Card?
For the old timers out there wasn't there a no-fee card called the Universe card? I seem to recall I had one a long time ago. If anyone remembers it do you know if it is the same as AT&T's universal card?
Also if it still exists I wonder if I get it would it trace my credit history back to when I first received it and thus greatly increase my average age of accounts.
Thanks.

Timeframe?
Are you perhaps thinking of the The Everything Card, from the late 1960's?
The original AT&T Universal card dates only from 1990.

I remember the AT&T Universal Card. No annual fees for life! Everyone I knew had one.
Can't remember what it finally morphed into over the years. For some reason, I think it merged into a Chase product.
