Spoke with Prestige today, new cards going out next month with a darker colored mag stripe. Apparently this is the only change, which it great because I love the card design. I can't imagine the stripe being any darker unless they make the rest of the card lighter to improve the contrast.
hmm ... not sure what a darker colored mag stripe would solve ... the problem, at least from my experience is that one: the stripe is not on the back and only appears on the front and two: the stripe is on the bottom as opposed to the top like most cards.
At least for me when the cashier swipes and it doesn't register, they turn to the back to look for the stripe. It doesn't dawn on them to look at the front.
