I have to wonder what difference what the card looks like makes? Do the majority of 1Ks even need to use your card for anything? I realize that some may need it on occasion for lounge access, but I cannot remember a single time in the last several years that I’ve actually used mine for anything other than maybe checking a phone numbers on the back.
My guess is that they will be very similar in 2004 to the ones in 2003. My guess is the reason they are stark white is so they will be completely opposite, and very distinguishable from the important black cards. </font>
Gotta admit it is pretty ugly. Personally I think the nicest card is the silver Premier card, but that really doesn't have any use at all. But I've never used it for anything except lounge access, and that too only in ONE airport--Frankfurt LH lounges, where the matrons will rip your head off if you ask them to honor the *Gold indicator printed on your boarding pass. Once they looked at my 1K card and asked if I had a "Gold" card as that's what I needed to access the lounge. Stupid idiots.
