Coolest looking credit cards
Since the other thread is about ugly cards, what are your picks on the coolest looking cards?
Mine is the Ritz Carlton Chase.

I would say the now discontinued Amex Zync. I still use it sometimes for fun and most places have never seen it and are very impressed.

It's a debit card, but my credit union offers a card with local surfing champion Adam Wickwire featured, riding an almost-vertical wave. I'm on mobile and can't link, but if look on Google Images for "SCCU surfer debit card, you'll see it

Agree with Cap1...though they aren't smart/ecofriendly about changing your photo.
I wanted to change my photo when the new one was being issued, but it was not possible in the mist logical manner:
You can't upload a photo and say "use it on the next card" instead of sending it immediately.
Support couldn't or wouldn't help with timing, so long and behold I get 2 cards within a week of each other.
This was 2-3 years ago, but I doubt they listened to me.

I like the new Citi cards that earn TY points. Only if they came in metal...
Is the RC card heavier than the CSP? The CSP looks like thin strip of metal sandwiched between two blue pieces of thin plasticky stuff - is the RC also like that in that you can see the three-piece construction?

The Diner's Club Premier/Elite cards look pretty nice. The Aviator cards from Barclay rank up there too, IMO. I also wonder why more issuers haven't done translucent cards (e.g. Blue from American Express).
