While previous AR design did look like a business card for funeral home, new one is hideous, vertical, and it looks like it got cut off at both ends
While I understand that if anyone sees AR - I'm doing it wrong, it still doesn't change a fact whomever designed it hates their customers
I only carry the AR since it's my (virtually) guaranteed to work in any situation card - seriously, they don't seem to be bothered by much of anything no matter how weird or unusual. In practice, the physical card only gets used in exceptional circumstances, such as a car rental I have coming up next month.
As for the new AR design, I've had it for a while now but my view hasn't softened any... if anything, I'm even more averse to it now. I hate vertical layouts with the fire of a thousand suns, and when you add in an abysmal card design let's just say U.S. Bank is fortunate their cards have good rewards, LOL.

Not sure why it's even up for discussion. As it says in (most) Holy Books:
(LTL 5, Chapter 3): "And Lo, HE held the credit card in His Almighty hands, with the long edge parallel to the ground and the short edge forming a line joining His earth to His sky, and spoke in a mighty voice 'This is the orientation that was before, is now, and forever more shall be. And cursed are those that shun this right way'. With a grimace He rotated that card a quarter turn, so the long edge joined the earth and sky. 'This' He thundered in a terrible voice, 'pushes My Kingdom further away from the dwelling of men'"
So, make your choices but be fully informed.

You'd be surprised how many heretics we have among us who like (or even prefer) the vertical cards.
I'm convinced they're the reason for the trillions of cicadas we're dealing with right now in my region (locusts were too old school I guess). I'm worried we'll have frogs dropping from the sky if/when the Capital One purchase of Discover goes through.

A few years ago there were whispers of Wells Fargo exploring the idea of acquiring Amex. I'm confident that would have been unholy enough to make the situation you describe come to fruition.

To be fair, there is dispute amongst scholars (of course) as to the exact meaning of LTL 5, 3. There are the literalists, who believe that as the text refers to credit cards explicitly, there is nothing wrong with a portrait debit card. Others believe that "obviously" the text refers to any credit-card-like thing, so debit and ATM cards must be landscape too. A small group believes that it includes all financial instruments, so even things like checks, money orders and stock certificates must be landscape.
And then there are those who state it is metaphorical. Naturally, the group is divided as to what the metaphor actually is, with perhaps the majority believing that it is about sharing wealth "horizontally", i.e. to the common people, rather than letting the wealthy acquire more. But to many this is a very, um, strained reading!
And finally, there is a small group who doubt the authenticity of the entire LTL book, claiming it to be a late and fabricated addition. They cite various examples throughout the text as having anachronistic elements (for example there are no reliable other sources indicating credit cards were common at the relevant time) but the most commonly cited suspicion concerns LTL 7:16, which in its entirely is "And now a word from the sponsor of this great gospel: LTL Bank! We do the Lord's work, so don't begrudge us the fees" Some scholars feel this apparently commercial message is not typical of the other contemporary religious works.
