Quite a website! I did not think that a credit card could inspire such intense feelings of pride.
To their credit, it was a decent looking card. Does it still exist on a grandfathered basis? I gave up on it about 20 years ago. Back then there was a great Apple card (I think it might have been Citi) and I had three of those generating $500 each off Apple products at, I think, 5% from purchases, yearly. |

Once Citi took it over, at one point I recall them adding an annual fee and you had to jump through some hoops (minimum amount of activity?) to avoid that annual fee, but then later it seems they dropped the annual fee. |

Maybe the worst part about this card is that a bonus category is restaurants. Like I'm going to slap this beast down on a dinner check with a date? Uh uh. Not gonna happen. Chase Hyatt Visa - it's the card that screams "You ain't gettin none, son!" Either that, or our youth has gone worse than I thought. Dates really pay attention to what the card looks like as part of their decision algorithm? |

CitiGold debit card: translucent burnt orange with gold embossing. I can't even find a picture online, it's that hideous.

The Hyatt card doesn't look half bad. There is a certain elegance in its relative simplicity.
Although that said, simplicity can work against you. I am not fond of the Canadian Marriott Rewards Visa. It looks silver but it's just some dull shade of gray, and it still somehow comes off looking busy despite the plain design: http://mms.businesswire.com/bwapps/m...d=4&download=1 Amex's cards on the other hand are quite nice. I've actually had cashiers compliment the appearance of the SPG Amex :) |

This is funny.
I had the AT&T Universal card back in the early 90s. And it looked fantastic. It was one of my first cards, promised no annual fees for life, and had a pretty unique and bold graphic. Seems fairly dull today. But better than the current one.... This thread cracks me up :-) |

Wow, the back of that card is horrific. I hate the Prestige because of the front facing mag strip. Honestly explaining to every cashier how to use it is frustrating.
Per ISO standards, the magnetic stripe and chip are the two defined parts of the card, and the magnetic stripe is always on the back of the card and the chip on the front. The other elements of the card that are normally on the back are on the front of the Prestige. |
Yeah that card is pretty plain jane.

I have to add in the Citi DoubleCash, its probably made of the cheapest material they could use and the card info on the back is just a sticker they added. Good thing its 2% or I probably wouldn't use it.

Have to say that I kinda like the brushed metal look of the Hyatt Chase Visa or even the US Airways card, but that's probably because I have this in my wallet:
http://www.rewardscanada.ca/images/Logos/alaskacard.jpg It's actually a really good card. Decent sign-up bonus, an annual $99 companion fare, and minimum 1 mile/$ earnings. But wow is it ugly!!! Seriously. It's a freakin' platinum MasterCard. Could they not make it look just a little bit fancier? And the worst MBNA card of all, the one so disgusting I would never carry it around in my wallet :D http://cfl.uploads.mrx.ca/ssk/images...9481874925.jpg |
