The thing I hated the most about my original Quicksilver card was the fact that it had a fake shine printed on.  When looking at a picture of the card online, it looks pretty cool and shiny.  But in person, you can see that it is a fake shine!  I still can't get over that.  In contrast, my Discover it card has a real shine that actually moves with the light.  That card looks and feels 100% better than my original Quicksilver card.  However, I do like my Quicksilver image card with the embossed numbers and letters.  The new EMV version looks somewhat promising, I just hope it doesn't have a fake shine as well.

Another minor gripe of mine is the fact that I'm using one of the Capital One stock images for my card, yet they show a default/generic "your image" photo for my Quicksilver card next to my online account.  Since I selected one of their images, I think they should show it there instead of that dummy "your image" picture.  These are just minor cosmetic gripes of mine.

I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ON THIS.

The new EMV chip version will be chip and signature, for those of you who were wondering.

My chip cards were mailed out on April 1st according to chat. I like the traditional embossed cards, but I really had no problem with how the Quicksilvers looked originally.

I don't think the issue is how they look it's just they are flimsy and not durable. My first capital one cards were image cards they lasted until the expiration date. I changed the image back when I upgraded to the quicksilver card and the card fell apart within 3 months. I am not hard on my cards either. H

Per chat my EMV card will be to me in 4-6 days. Also got APR lowered to 18.5%

Just got my new quicksilver with chip and embossed numbers. A lot better than before but still ugly

Do you know if you can change that image back to the default/original card image? Customer service had no idea what I was talking about when I asked.

Good question.  I would find that acceptable.  I believe I also asked customer service about that a year ago and they were pretty clueless.  My guess is that it's not possible unless you change your actual card back to the original Quicksilver card (assuming that's possible).  I also wrote in a suggestion to them recommending that they add some flexibility regarding the card image that is displayed online.
