One day I will get the NFL Extra Points card. I'll never use it for the rewards. I just want it for my team 


I hear the Lions and Bengals are looking into picking up this card for themselves. They'll take all the points they can get.


Sound like it might be the flavor of the month this year. If covid keeps up, it might be the only way any teams get points.

In the end my view is while aesthetics has its place, for making good financial decisions, credit card looks probably isn't such a place!   Maybe put your cards in a mobile wallet, and (I hope) you have less attachment to the image!

 

Of course, there are other reasons for getting the card, belief it will impress or it's so cute it makes you happy.  But just be aware that this may steer you away from the card that makes the most sense for you....

 

A good example was the Fidelity Amex.   At the time, it stood more or less alone as a 2% everywhere card, but some here were so put off by its appearance, a really, um, interesting shade of  green, that they declined to get it.  (One usually reliable person said he would ashamed to pull it out to pay for a business lunch)

Every team has a card and I think there's 2 NFL cards, a shield and something else.

Not at all.  A pretty card is better than one of those pompous metal cards.


Smiley Very Happy Funny, I like the metal cards. I have the WF Propel and the Amex/Amazon Prime and they are both metal and I think they look pretty cool.
