I don't have any accounts with USAA, but those pictures of the new cards look cool!


I finally got around to requesting a contactless replacement for my USAA Amex, and I admit it actually looks really good... the public photos don't do it justice.

 

The navy blue is darker than the pictures indicate, and the Amex logo in the bottom corner is nearly black (it might even be black). 

 

Anyway, it looks good... now if only they'd refresh the rewards and features of their cards to be more competitive.

Yes. Among one of my most beautiful cards. Too bad I almost never use it.

Yeah, same here.

 

I did give the new card some exercise... it made me think of the 'good old days' back when I used a single card for everything.  As nice as it looks it's not going to see much use, unfortunately (just a monthly swipe at the gas pump).

 

Here's an image of the new Amex:

Re: USAA To Issue Contactless Cards

I received my new contactless cards late last year. The designs are beautiful, I agree.  I hate the revamped rewards center/process though. Ugly and cumbersome. I'm still a little salty that despite the image being revamped they haven't changed their policy on graduating Visa Platinums to Visa Signatures once the credit limit threshold is reached, or on product changes in general. Smiley Frustrated
