Amex Blue

Anonymous — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 02:03:31 GMT

So, I just got a replacement for my very worn out Amex Blue card. Instead of a holographic magnetic stripe, the one on my new card is just grey. Anyone else notice this? If so, did they eliminate all the holographic magnetic stripes? Just wondering if my charge card would see the same change when I order a replacement.

That sucks, I think the prepaid card I have has the holographic design and its pretty nice! Maybe you can get them to send you one with it?

All of mine have been grey or black. If the strip really matters to you a great deal I guess you could call and ask for a different one.

Eh...

I can see where OP would be disappointed, hell I would be too if I had a particular card with a creditor that was nice and then they send me something I don't like.

Lol cent stays at home 99% of the time so no back problems to report. Im not one to brag and quickly found that the 'this is heavy' reaction followed by several questions wears old after awhile. I tend to use plat and CSP depending on the place.

I was just curious really. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Thanks for your responses though :-) Intrestingly I was reading that Amex will be issuing chip and pin cards in Canada now. I wonder how long it will be if/before chip and pin catch on here. I still have my old blue for students from college with the chip in it... never did get to use the chip lol.

The Blue I just received has a grey strip as well. Maybe only charge cards get the holographic ones?...
