LOL no it is not a credit card, but I am sure that will not stop many on here from applying....Important question do they give high CL's?  Seriously I would not trust these people to take my magnetic strip and put it on "their card" sounds bizarre to say the least.....

Dude is smart and is providing something to which he has (apparent) clientele. More power to him. Though, I do have to wonder how you "start your own credit card company"?

You're right its not a credit card... its essentially just a clone of an already existing credit/debit cards magnetic strip. 

 

Kind of stupid its one of those ideas that only works in large cities. Im 22 and I think an actual credit card like the Palladium or Centurion would carry far more meaning than this. 

 

This "magnisis" seems more of a large social club.

I dislike the whole pretentiousness of the whole thing "We put those people on a wait list" "No one's gotten off the wait list yet."
