Age ************** when applying for a credit card

Evidently it is not enough to have a stable income, excellent credit record, assets and cash in the bank. FNB will not give me a credit card because in my sixties, I'm too old. After all the hype I really didn't expect this from them. I want to distance myself from my current bank's credit card after numerous problems everytime I go overseas, but FNB will not allow me to have an alternative. Shame on you.
