Capital One QuickSilver Card... blah.

Creditaddict — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 19:07:22 GMT

So the new cards arrived yesterday and I had not seen my partner since I left them sitting on the table... This morning I said kind of jokingly because he hates credit cards for the most part and the time and trouble I go through to get things (Like the PC over to the QuickSilver) with Cap1 that we don't use

Anyway... He replies back very quickly and sharp... "They look FAKE!"

LOL - They really do, they look like someone printed them from home to play store or something.

I agree, the Quicksilver card looks cheap and fake. I went shopping this weekend with my new card and every cashier or waiter that I handed my card to did a double take on the card.

Maybe it's Capital Ones Marketing thinking.... make it look so stupid that people do that double take and actually see Capital One QUICKSILVER... and more of a chance to say to someone else... "I had a customer today hand me this capital one Quicksilver... i thought they were playing a joke on me!"

I mean someone that takes cards all day long and doesn't care about credit like we (me) do, what is going to make them actually look at a card or possibly say something to someone about a card? metal, pretty, funny, stupid??

didn't think of it that way at first... hmmm

Yea, but from the back it looks like some kind of "prestigious"black card.

Hmmmn. Just goes to show how little you can tell from a 2D image. Based on the sig files here, I thought they looked pretty sharp.

Agreed. The card does look fake, I don't like it either.

I was ready to completely let go of Capital One before getting the Quicksilver, but I am liking the 1.5% cash back on every purchase. Is it possible to get a different design?

lakerfan2011 — Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:33:09 GMT

you can put your design your own cards and put you own picture on the cards

i have been working with the coperate office to get them upgraded i have 2 accounts with 10 g credit lines they wont change them over to the signature becuase its visa but they will change them to world mastercards for me

They'll tell you they're WMC but they're really not. Why not just apply for a new one to be segmented as World or Visa Sig? That's the ONLY way to change an account now at C1

I agree with everyone. They look fake. Capital One should hire a new designer to give ALL their cards a serious makeover and bring them all into the 21st century.

But as mentioned, Cap One makes it trivial to put your own design on the card, and the "custom" one will have embossed numbers.
