although I get your point on the looks, but does it really matter? Since when is the credit card supposed to be considered a "fashion statement"? That was never the idea... as someone mentioned here, I'd rather have a cardboard looking card that gives me rewards, than a kick ass looking card which costs me money to keep in the wallet.
I'll take a "cheap looking" card that gives me great rewards any day. People are WAY too caught up in the looks of things.

Too cheap to print out decent cards, too cheap for CLIs, too cheap to hire employees who can really do anything about your account. The employees who can do PCs and CLIs are hidden away in the EO department. Too cheap to handle affairs in a normal manner so instead they conduct their business through Facebook PMs like some college kid. About the only thing they spend money on is triple hard pulls.
And for the final insult they denied my cusomized card image because the subject of my photo was a woman whose shirt collar was about 2 millimeters off the shoulder. I guess they found that too suggestive, huh. I can't wait to douse this card with gasoline and set it ablaze.
...you forgot to mention they do spend big money on marketing such as paying Samuel L Jackson to yell at us about the glories of 1.5% cashback on ANY purchase ANY time!
It could be worse. It could be Alec Baldwin...
Maybe it's due to my seat in the "thankful for having one" class, but does the look of the card really matter?

I got a $5000 increase recently just by hitting the button. Soft pull for 5k isn't half bad. So, in my experience they're not cheap. Now, if it's your credit profile that's getting these undesirable results, that would be the thing to work on instead of engaging in arson.
