3 New Barclaycard Ring Designs

[elim]

eh, i like the transparent fade but i love the APR.

We are approaching the time when a newly designed Barclaycard Ring plastic will be put into the world.

1. Chip card - I know a lot of you are asking when the Barclaycard Ring plastic will have it. The answer is that the initial incarnation of the new plastic will not include chip technology. Later next year, likely toward the end of 2015, new plastics will be created with the chip and as your cards expire, they will be replaced with new chip cards.
   
   
2. Translucent cards – An overwhelming number of community members expressed an interest in a translucent plastic. So we have included two options with translucent parts of the plastic for you to discuss. However, it’s hard to show translucence on a website! Our designers have attempted to emulate the transparency view in the images below. Hope that helps!

Good god, the end of 2015 for the chip version to be available?!?!   I probably like the 1st design best, but none of them are particularly groundbreaking in appearance - especially #3 Chase Freedom ripoff.

#1 reminds me of the wired plastic prepaid card I had in college. 

#2 I like the best 

#3 looks a lot like the freedom

i also recently received the email from them recently but it seems like a way out before the EMV chips are implemented.

I like the orange design. I think all 3 new designs suck.
