This would be great if they were?
Much like the SPG update, a mobile app could be giving clues I think...
I got the new Citi app, and noticed they updated the card for one of my AAdvantage cards. Neat.
When I went to my Premier and Prestige, I saw they had the current designs. Cool. IIRC the Premier was the old design, and the Prestige was just a blue placeholder.
But upon closer inspection, there were some slight differences. Could it be that they may re-design the Prestige/Premier to get rid of that consarn front stripe?
Notice in the pic: Name appears to be on the front now, near the bottom left. Also, chip is now on the front (isn't there some CC regulation that has the chip/stripe on opposite sides?).
I really hope they do change it to this. That'd be great. I don't use Apple Pay, but is it updated like this there too? Here's hoping this is really a thing and not just me freaking out!!
