Which airlines have the nicest/ugliest frequent flyer cards?
 
Off the top of my head:

The new Cathay Marco Polo are pretty nice if you like minimalism:

Qantas also has great ones, definitely one of my favorites:

Air Canada's top-tier Super Elite cards are well designed too.

Etihad's are also good-looking with a neat design:

TAME from Ecuador is pretty great

Alaska has one of the ugliest ones I've seen, thank god they're updating them for next year:

EgyptAir's is hideous:

Air China's top-tier card looks really tacky:

I really liked TK's Miles&Smiles cards during the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" movie:

My only thought on the subject is that you can't get consensus on style. I like some of the ones you hate, and hate some of the ones you like.

If you ask me, OP, the "hideous" cards are those AC ones.

I couldn't agree more with your favorite and least favorite designs. I think QFF has the nicest ones.

Seriously? :rolleyes: The one that gets me the most miles the fastest.

Non-NonRev Jul 7, 2016 4:22 pm

I think all of these are perfectly fine - the Etihad maybe a little nicer. :)

some cards get much uglier after you carry them in your wallet for a while!
 
The Southwest Airlines card and the Hertz card are the ugliest in my wallet, because in both those cases they didn't send it to me, I had to print it out, and as a paper printout cut to size it gets mangled over time.

And some plastic cards I've had for a while (United doesn't send me a new Premier Silver card every year, I just have to keep the same one year to year) get scuffed, and that point they're ugly, even if they weren't ugly when I got them.

The back of Virgin Atlantics is quite nice but the front is rather hideous. (Or other way around)

FFlash Jul 12, 2016 6:10 am

Out of those OP, I like most the AC, also QF is nice.

Most boring is Etihad for sure.

However, I like most the ones that shine most points! :D

AC is pretty awful. Too busy and poorly branded...Altitude/Aeroplan/*G/SuperElite/100K/1 Million Miles. Obviously no one with any design experience came up with that. TAME and CX MPC are the nicest of the ones you've shown.

I've never had an airline card I cared to look at.

Had some nice-looking hotel cards over the years....cards where one of their tropical properties adorns the front of the card.

I feel that MH, SQ, and AZ are pretty plain in design and color.
