I love the classic AMEX, the CSP, and the Hyatt VISA.

 

I don't really dig the Chase Freedom though, to be honest.

Not a big fan of the BCE, it looks flimsy. Discover, meh.

 

I like the look of the Palladium.

The regular Sapphire looks like junk.


Likewise, the regular Chase cards such as Freedom seem to have a very cheap flimsy quality about it.  Not that it detracts from the card, but since we're on a vanity thread. 

 

The Amex clears are modern looking, but is a tad flimsy.  I've had a few people think it was a fake counterfeit Amex card. 

 

I'm with Jake on the brown Palladium.  I'm from time when it was drilled into me "never brown in town."  I'm not sure I can go with "brown" anything, except for a sport coat in the country.

Re: Best looking credit card?

Ya the select card would look a lot better if it was the same color as the ink... A darker grey. Actually it would look better in any other color. To this day though whenever I see the gold I just stare at it. With hungry eyes...I personally hate the look of the bce and bcp. Don't know why, just do.

The one with my picture on it.   Currently a Cap 1.  

 

It looks a bit like this.

Probably not best looking, but some of WFNNB's store cards are awfully pretty... All sparkly and pink.. Lots of glitter usage..lol

 

A lot of cards look like they can be customized now, but, adding a photo isn't all that interesting to me.

For those who haven't seen the JPM Select card in person, it does have a bit of glitter to it and it's more copper than brown because of that. It does NOT look like the picture online.

It's hard to get a feel for how the BCP actually looks from seeing it on the web site. I was surprised to find it's a clear card just like Clear. I was expecting something with more of a light gray or light blue-gray background. I think the graphical elements of BCP would look very nice on an opaque card with that color scheme, perhaps with some Zync-ish sparkle.

Re: Best looking credit card?

Palladium, United Presidential Plus World Elite MasterCard (converted metal version with the silver master card logo), CSP and Amex centurion in that order. Arisgreek posted a photo of her united PP card and it looked amazing. I like black cards too but it's a bit cliche and definitely not "new/fresh" as a concept, hence why the cent is 4th.

The Stanley cup discover card! Smiley Happy

 

Also the classic Amex charge card with the roman guy on the front is nice. The Sapphire preferred is nice, and the gold capital one venture looks cool.
