Amex Blue

So, I just got a replacement for my very worn out Amex Blue card. Instead of a holographic magnetic stripe, the one on my new card is just grey. Anyone else notice this? If so, did they eliminate all the holographic magnetic stripes? Just wondering if my charge card would see the same change when I order a replacement.

That sucks, I think the prepaid card I have has the holographic design and its pretty nice! Maybe you can get them to send you one with it?

Re: Amex Blue

All of mine have been grey or black. If the strip really matters to you a great deal I guess you could call and ask for a different one.

Re: Amex Blue

Frankly if the strip really matters that much send me your new Amex card I ill paint puprle tyedyes on it.  Not to be rude but seriously the kind of strip (ON THE BACK OF THE CARD)Kinda like flippin the bird to all the people who try to get even the basic Amex and get turned down, not really a positive or constructive post SORRY:smileyindifferent:

I can see where OP would be disappointed, hell I would be too if I had a particular card with a creditor that was nice and then they send me something I don't like.
