I'm not much of a fan of the Fidelity Amex. The green looks off putting on a credit card, and the "all seeing eye" doesn't really help.

Yeah - pretty bad.

Further, something about Fidelity feels like orthopedic shoes to me. They're like the no-fun, straight, parents made me do it company. No bling. The reverse of bling. Pulling out that credit card with that logo says "sensible shopper" and "I drive the speed limit."

No one voting the most prestigious First Premier card?:D

I've got GOLD!!!

Of course, they also have ugly terms in addition to designs.

Five pages and nobody nominated the Barclays Choice Hotels card? So ugly I can't find mine.

I took your comment about laziness to heart and tried to find my card when I got home; it is officially missing. Oh well, don't let it be said that this thread serves no purpose...

(My recollection of the card is that it is a lot yellower than the color in the picture, but I guess I'll see when I get my replacement card.)

This one. Plus it's so flimsy I think I could tear it in half pretty easily if I tried. Just looks and feels like a really cheap card.

Oldie, but still as ugly as ever
 
This one has been in a drawer for more than a few years:

I especially like the mysterious "space" background.

The GM card from Capital One is a real contender:

It's not even embossed. Perhaps, they were trying to save some money.


But nothing beats the Kardashian Kard:

Fortunately, we will be spared from having to look at them as they were canceled due to their predatory pricing structure.

The GM card looks cheap and crappy. She's got a nice pair of um... Personalities. Ya that's it.

Just got the new iteration of the MileagePlus Explorer and it is really cheap looking. The whole "put all the information on the back of the card" only really seems to work for premium cards. For regular cards, it makes it unclear if it is even a credit card. The below is not an exact replica as the real card has the Visa logo on the back too IIRC.

Too bad the card is the only thing of theirs that got cancelled. :D

OMFG. That was actually supposed to be a real thing?!?!?! I saw the April Fool's post on The Points Guy, and I thought it was never actually considered. The world has become a darker place for me.

The Club Carlson Business Card is definitely the ugliest card I have!

at least it's flush (no raised lettering), back looks fine (right card on the image below)

I like my New Jersey Devils IT card. The base card looks terrible, though.

Agreed. Mixing orange with blue is just a horrible horrible thing to do. Furthermore the bland design doesn't do it any service either.
