Until the 1950s, a world without the use of cash was simply inconceivable. Today an economic universe without plastic would be impractical. Whether it’s for business or for leisure, the credit card is used to pay for goods and services from New York to Beijing. It all started in 1949 when Frank McNamara scheduled a business dinner in a New York restaurant. Before he left for the dinner, Frank changed suits. When the waiter presented the check, Frank realized that he had left his wallet in the other suit. The embarrassing situation was solved, but that night Frank asked himself: “Why should people be limited to spending what they are carrying in cash, instead of being able to spend what they can afford?” A year later, Frank returned to the same restaurant in New York. When the check came, Frank handed the waiter a small cardboard card, a Diner’s Club Card, and signed for the meal. This event is known in the credit card industry as the “First Supper.” Soon the concept of “charging it” was picked up by merchants as an alternative form of payment to the use of cash. By 1952, the Diner’s Club Card was accepted by thousands of businesses across the United States, and it became a status symbol for those who carried it. The Diner’s Club Card soon became a cultural icon. Hollywood cashed in on the “charge-it craze” with the 1962 movie, The Man from the Diner’s Club. In it, an employee at Diner’s Club issues a credit card to a well-known gangster and has to get it back in order to keep his job. The Ideal Toy Corporation joined in the trend when it created a board game called the Diner’s Club Game. The idea of the credit card quickly expanded outside the United States. The Diner’s Club Card became the first international charge card in 1952 with franchises in Canada, France, and Cuba. In 1955, Western Airlines became the first airline to accept the Diner’s Club Card. Ten years later, the card was accepted by every airline in the United States. Diner’s Club expanded its services to hotels, car rentals, and other businesses. Other famous international credit cards have been created such as American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. There are hundreds of local bank cards, department store credit cards, supermarket credit cards, and so forth around the world. In 1984, the first card members rewards program was created, aimed mostly at business travelers. It gave valuable benefits and special privileges to loyal users. Now many reward programs offer free airline miles and discounts on hotels and other products. Ever since a businessman forgot his cash in 1949, people have used credit cards. An entirely new business was created that revolutionized the way the world has paid for goods and services ever since.
