Ugly Credit Cards
 

Look, I'm in it for points and miles and money as much as the next guy, but there's a limit, right? Some cards are just too ugly to use.

I'm nominating as ugliest credit card:

Hyatt Chase Visa

Brushed metal look? Fur realz? In 2015, when you, Chase, have actual metal cards?

I do like that it's pretty thin and flimsy, but in that vein, I'd prefer the Citi cards with no raised lettering.

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!"

OK - what comes in second?

At least the Hyatt card still looks like a credit card... this thing looks like one of those flimsy temporary wi-fi access cards. And the back looks like something straight out of the early 90's.

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

Discover IT's card look like that too... brushed metal and feels like cardboard

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

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.

I'm going to nominate the slowly dying US Airways card. Plane looks like it is desperately trying to get away from its ugly namesake card...

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:

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?

Yes it looks a metal type it is right, but I want to say this card only valuable for money.

"early 90's"?
The back colors look like my mobile home living room in the 1970's:D

That AT&T card looks awesome. I nominate the HSBC Platinum card.

This is easily the most ugly card in my wallet. Bright neon green over the whole card, even the raised numbering is the same color. lol. :)

Every. Single. Time.

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:

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.

Googling around, I found this site by the founders, so proud of their creation:

(seems most content there is gone for whatever reason)

Came in here to say the AT&T Access. Atrocious looking card.

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?
