It's also been useful for traveling, but I'll leave that to your imagination.

Similarly, my girlfriend does a passable version of my signature which works out well when she uses my credit cards.

Reinforcing your point but from the other way we discussed a case on hongkongcard.com where a cardholder was forced to sign a slip under [Yakuza] duress, scrawled a nonsensical signature (the heavies accepted it) and then tried to get out of it for bad signature. Issuer HSBC HK attempted to refuse chargeback based on his physical presence at the time of the signing.

We just got ours, it looks even worse in real life as it does in the photos.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have to say that the AT&T Access More gets more positive comments than any other card I have- teenagers and millennials alike think it's "cool" because of the see-through lettering and the white color.

As a millennial (I feel so pretentious saying that), I don't like it. The see-through lettering and white color are nice...on the front. It's the reverse "splash" of colors that sets me off of it.

That reminds me of another card, the Barclay JetBlue card(s). I can't find a picture comparing the front and backs, but the front is a fairly nice blue pattern. Then you flip it over and have this bright orange. Blue and orange. I know a lot of people who went to a particular university with that color scheme, but I just hate it.

Well, it looks like Chase and Hyatt finally listened to my sage advice!

In the first post of this thread, I nominated my Chase Hyatt card as THE_UGLIEST_CREDIT_CARD. In my mind (what's more important than that?) it has reigned supreme.

But there's a new contender!

I really don't mind the Chase Hyatt Card - looks fine. Nothing earth shatteringly great but it is a stretch to say it is ugly - bland is probably the better word.
