The problem with my Black Card......

.....is that when I need to get gas I can't see the black strip so I don't know how to put it in the card reader

And no, I have not suddenly become a Centurion - it is my Wells Fargo Business card

MV, put one of those small, bright sticky dot things on the card. The gas pumps I use takes the card with the mag stripe on top and to the left, so put your sticky dot on the bottom of that same side. You won't have to look for that stripe anymore...

(Notice how I avoided low humor about you getting gas, and any references to beans, cabbage, et al.)

MV...do you have any other accts with Wells? Just wondering since I'm a (roughly) 18 year vet to Wachovia & Wells is nearly done with their buy out. Just wondered how you like them.

Sorry, no accounts at all. It is just my company card

Thats funny.

Tell them the problem, and ask them to redesign it just for you!

Public Savings Bank Secured Visa is also a black card.

My wife has a Citibank Diamond Preferred card, which is also black; I think it looks nicer than my Citibank Appreciation Plus card. I'm not sure what the substantive difference is, we both have limits over $10K and we don't pay interest on CCs so the APR doesn't really matter beyond the irritation at both of us having been ratejacked in 2009 despite long and clean credit histories. Chase recently rebranded mine to their new Slate with cool tone-on-tone blue waves. Discover Cashback Bonus is still solid grey, and AMEX Gold looks like AMEX Gold always has (they keep trying to get me to switch to Platinum, but I don't travel enough to justify the increased annual fee).
