Couple of things to add to the thread:
1. Samuel L Jackson didn't "replace" Alec Baldwin. Jackson, in a sense, replaced Fallon because the green Cash Rewards card was replaced by the Quicksilver. The Venture card's ads have definitely slowed down though. No more Alec it seems...due to his negative air about him. I still see a Venture commercial every now and then...just not with Baldwin. I saw one with Charles Barkely and someone else the other day.
2. What the OP might have meant by the question that never seems to get answered is the matter of which is the most issued card. As others have said, it's not an easy question to answer. It probably changes all the time. I am sure the Quicksilver has been helping CapOne ramp up its card count. Is it #1? I doubt it...but who knows. Freedom or Discover It (or previous versions) are a likely candidate but my best guess is that it might be an unassuming, no frills, non-rewards card by a large card issuer. A simple CapOne card with a lower rate or easy terms? Maybe. Chase Slate or Citi Simplicity? A simple BankAmericard? Maybe. Why? Well, I try not to project my interests onto the population at large. I like rewards cards but I try not to assume that that is what everyone is getting. I know most people actually balances on their cards so I assume it's just a low interest card or something like that.
