Extremely arbitrary...

Anonymous — Sat, 28 Mar 2015 21:12:40 GMT

Anyone else like... super OCD about the way a CC looks? If it isn't pretty, I'm not particularly interested... That Chase SP, though. And, the Venture Design is really nice, too... I just got it in the mail, and was SO impressed by how nice it looks.

Anybody else feel the same way? Just want my curiosity satiated. Ha.

You think those 2 are nice then you should really get your hands on the Ritz Carlton card from Chase.. It is something else..

Being really new to Capital One PRIME products, when the Venture card first arrived in the mail, i honestly thought that it was of metal because it looked so much similar to the CSP and it took a moment of actually feeling the thing to finally realize it was plastic. Design is top notch also IMO.

I LOVE cute cards, and I wish more companies would take a hint from Discover and allow customers to have card design options. If you are a Discover female cardholder or a male who likes pink, take a look at the Discover Pink Monogram Card Design. Even my husband was like "that's a nice card." It is super cute and they put your initial on the card as well.

Nope. .. I prefer the rewards ...but what most find a nice looking card is nothing special to me and the ones I like do not get any recognition here anyway...lol

I find that that there is a relationship between the attractiveness of a card and the card's credit limit. If the limit is high enough, even an ugly card is beautiful.

I do love my metal CSP, but I have to say that I really like my BoA card -- it's ugly in all the photos and it's definitely not "modern", but it actually makes me feel very solid and credit worthy when I use it -- sort of like a card my father-in-law would carry Of course, Amex Platinum can't be beat, but I'm just an AU on that card and there is something different about pulling out your own card.

I like nice looking designs like the Chase Amazon but it's not a biggie. I'm more neurotic about needing to see whole numbers.

You can easily see for yourself:

Plenty are concerned about how their cards look. For me it's all about the rewards.

Nah, I don't really care that much about how the cards look as long as they work properly though my AARP, Ritz and CSP are all really nice looking.

A design won't stop me from wanting (well, perhaps an exception for Priceline) a card. Nor will it make me get a card I don't need, but I do appreciate nice appearances. My only two cards up until recently were a CapOne Plat and the Barclays Mastercard, both reek of cheap. Glad I've moved up a little bit in the world!

Really want the CSP preferred. Looks great, although I'm more into the rewards aspect of it. I'll dream about a Ritz Carlton, but I'd never get one because it's just not for me or something I could utilize correctly. The YouTube video of someone demonstrating what it's like to drop it is quite funny.

Yes, total first world problems here. (And shallow! )

I think it is one of those cards that look better in person.

The two flat 2% Cashback cards on the market now - Fidelity Amex and Citi DC - are both ugly and feel cheap to me. But everyone should have one of those nonetheless
