I remember all those going for "metal cards", and the DC Power

When I had this card I used to get smiles from the cashiers and sales clerks, that's got to be worth something:

Back in the day when Warner Brothers had stores all over the place I used to wear ties from them to work meetings; I loved it when folks would figure out Marvin Martian or Bugs Bunny was on my tie.  I was also hoping they would co-brand credit cards, I would have jumped on a Coyote and Road Runner credit card, even if it was from a financial institution like Synchrony.

How much discount did they give you?    (Just the rewards....)

 

ETA: Off topic, but anyway:    I was at the airport (BOS) the other day meeting someone, and stopped at the Dunkin Donuts for coffee.   I was given a 15% airport worker discount.    Didn't have any sort of badge that gave that impression, but oh well!   Next day I went to a DD at the Amtrak station and DIDN'T get a discount.  Felt like complaining but then realized the case was rather weak...

Good point, but just showing my age.    What I found amusing is the Dunkin at the airport says "America runs on Dunkin" whereas the Amtrak one said "Westwood runs on Dunkin" which is quite a downgrade.
