I do see that if you go to http://mycontinentalcards.com that the Mastercard logo has mysteriously reappeared.... so this should appear on future PPMC cards after their initial stock is depleted.
To be frank, my earlier appraisal - where I commented that I liked it - was in error. I have to agree that it does feel cheap and look difficult to use. However, I wonder how much moving the MC logo to the front does to help matters. With the numbers still on the back, it still looks like a promotional device. At least with everything only on the back, they flip it over, thinking you gave it to the backwards.
