Vintage-looking current credit cards
Are there any banks in the US that issue vintage-looking Visa or MasterCard credit cards?
You know... blue/white/brown for a Visa, white background with the red and yellow circles for MC... |
Colors, graphics, layouts, fonts, etc. go out of style (the definition of "vintage") and are unlikely to appear on a current card unless somebody here knows otherwise. If you want a actual old credit card (not usable for transactions), ebay offers lots of them.

Another thing to consider is that when card companies move to a new card art / form, they are less incentivized to keep the old ones around as there's a cost to maintain. They have to work with vendors to make sure they can print, manufacture, etc. So the more variations in the marketplace, the more problematic it comes to maintain. |
About as vintage as it gets is AMEX Member Since.

Now that most of the cards have tap to pay, you could just 3d print a thin sleeve over it and print any design on it!

The Amex design hasn't really changed all that much even on the latest iterations of the cards, just the materials. |

MasterCard agreed, and the card was issued on MasterCard network, and today most Citi cards are MasterCards. |
