Isn't that from Chase?  IMHO, Chase cards are not worth the plastic they are printed on!!!

Chuck Schwab cards seemed to be all the rage, so maybe they have all the really cool ones.

Pattycake, 

I guess the jokes on me.  My comment started out as a joke, however, not knowing that Chase has a card with "mickey mouse" on it backfired on me.   As a "former" wamu, chase dissatisfied customer who moved his savings, checking accounts  I would not recommend Chase to anyone.  Since I do not have, or carry cc's, I will bow out after my poor attempt at a joke.

I also would not recommend Chase since they closed my WAMU card as well.  That said, I do have another card with them that is a Disney Rewards card with Tinkerbell on it.

Gotta love Tink!

LOL, Thanks for the laugh about Tinkerbell.  I am more of a Capt Hook type of guy.

HA! I have this card, why did I apply for it? Mainly for Mickey Mouse believe it or not! I love it. (This was in my younger years when I wasnt so focused on FICO)  FWIW It's not a bad card at all, it had 0% for a year on BT, and now it has a interest rate of 10.24%, the lowest of all three of my chase cards,

I know the OP is being sarcastic, however I do consider what the card looks like when I use to apply for cards.

I'm not worried of what other people will think, ie gold card, black card, platinum since you can have a First Premier Platinum card (no offense to anybody who has one) that is basically worthless.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone point me in the direction of some really cool looking credit cards, or just ones with a high-class snooty reputation, that will make everyone be like "ooh" and "aah" at me when they see it? I'm always looking for ways to make my peers think I'm more awesome than I actually am. Price and any other card agreement terms would be irrelevant in this scenario. 

So far the coolest thing I've seen is the Visa Black card, supposedly made out of graphite instead of plastic, with a $500 annual fee? Now that sounds like a great card for people with a superiority complex!

Keep checking. Many have been double whacked.

To respond to the original question of this post I have found the below cards to be considered "superficial" and/or "Elite" card products that are targeting for the 1%.

They are :

• Ameriprise World Elite MasterCard  http://banking-credit.ameriprise.com/debit-cards-credit-cards/world-elite-mastercard.asp 

• Barclay's Visa Blackcard  https://www.blackcard.com/
• HSBC Premier World MasterCard® http://www.us.hsbc.com/1/2/3/hsbcpremier/privileges
• Presidential Plus World MasterCard®  http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/products/chase/presidentialplus.aspx?offer=PP00
• Bank of America Accolades™ American Express® card  http://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/index.php?s=43&item=7791
• Citi Chairman American Express Card   https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/cardDetail.do?screenID=945&origincontentId=CONSUMER&CONTENT_TYPE=...

From what I can find out is that if you have any of the above cards you would be "Superficial"
