That made my day! Yes, Capital One switched over the QS/QS1 design in April. Lots of cards are doing this not...I am sure the purpose is of both security and aesthetics.
Congrats Phoenix55! Do not mistake it for one of those crazy prequalified envelopes with a fake card in it!

So today, my new QS1 card arrived in the mail. Exciting when you are rebuilding credit and a more empowered life. I carefully opened the envelope (savoring my little victory) and I am staring at a blank card. No numbers. My first thought was "Omg, what a tease!" (Had they changed their minds after approving me?) Panicked, I'm shuffling through the paperwork, looking for an explanation. Then I turned the card over and see the account numbers printed on the back. I guess it's a design feature, or security feature? For a minute I really wondered if my new card approval was too good to be true.
It activated. All is well.
Lol, silly Capitol One

Silly me. I'm obviously new to credit cards and panicked thinking they they sent me a blank card?
