You do know you can have multiple Discos with the same card number active at the same time, right? It's free to request additional copies of your same card with additional designs. You can have 5 per account I believe. 


@Ficoproblems247, I am pretty sure you are correct. I have (2) active cards on my 1st account.


When the card comes up for renewal, do you get 2 new cards, or do you have to request the additional cards again?

@Anonymous, Good question, as I added the 2nd card after the renewal, and they have not expired yet.

My guess is that they send out just the latest fashion of the card, and not the previous one.

I thought about it and think maybe it just may be a new design replacement card where you can continue to use the card it replaced, provided that the expiration date hasn't passed. If my disco expires in 2023, and I opt for a new design todsy, they'll send one with the new design but with the same expiration date, but allow me to continue to use my current card.

Yeah I can use both physical copies of my same Disco at once because I just requested an additional design rather than a replacement. Mobile wallet takes up spots like @Brian_Earl_Spilner  pointed out. My phone takes a slot, my watch takes another, and then my 2 physical cards, leaving me 1 last slot for an additional card design if I chose to order another. I wonder if there are other card issuers that do that? Also unsure if AUs' cards count toward your allotted slots as have none.

I don't think it's silly lol. I love my Disco for that very reason. Now if it was a card that would be truly IMPRACTICAL for you, then maybe getting it just because it's pretty would be silly. 

 

But still. No judgment here.

Rather than make my wife an AU, I just gave her one of the cards.

Yeah but what sucks is they all have the same card number so if one gets lost/stolen, you have to replace them all.

@Ficoproblems247    That is so great I remember my old bank used to let us upload pictures to cards (upon approval of course) But that was many moons ago and I don't remember which bank it was hahahahha    Sorry I had old-timerz


Capital One used to do image cards. They seem to have ended that feature now though.
