Someone needs to come up with a glow in the dark or a light up, like kids sneakers.Smiley Tongue  The closer to your limit the light gets dimmer and dimmer.

When I first joined this forum I was surprised as to how important card appearance was to many people (including the "it's metal!!!!!" type stuff).   So yes, you are wrong but have a lot of company!

 

Really though, providing it's a reasonably good choice otherwise, choosing a card for appearance is fine.   Just don't go for the oh-so-pretty no rewards $50 monthly fee card!


I'd agree with this - it's wrong but people seem to enjoy do wrong things every day.

 

Ultimately, it's your portfolio. How you choose to grow or destroy it is up to you. The one thing I would strongly urge though (and that some also seem to keep forgetting) is that if you are going to choose a card for some non-quantifiable reason like appearance or "status", do it for YOU and only YOU. Nobody besides you gives a crap what your cards look like or which ones you have, and you will not impress anyone or gain any societal status simply for owning a specific card.

Hahaha If this needs to go to SmorgBoard please move but I was curious am I the only one that sees a card and goes OOOOOOOO that is pretty I wouldn't mind having that card even if I wasn't really looking at that Bank/Lender or searching for that particular reward LOL.    I was reading my emails and an add popped up about a Discover IT card that was a very pretty blue and I was like.....I am not looking into Discover and am definitely reserving that spot for my app next month, but that color is so prettttttyyyyyyyy hahahahahaha.     Is it just me?!   Am I wrong to want it for the color (even if I may use it for the Cash Reward) lmao someone help XD


Discover IT card isn't that bad of a card really, but in person oh boy it shines. I personally have the blue as my color and I like whipping it out. It also has a riffle like texture to it. 


Careful posting stuff like that or the next post we're going to see from @Girlzilla88  is going to be in the approval forums! Smiley LOL

I have (2) pretty Discover it cards ..My 1st card was in 1999   (Greenwood Trust / Tri-Fold Paper App)

 

"The Greenwood Trust Company was founded in 1911 and was based in Greenwood, Delaware. It was acquired by Discover in 1985 and renamed Discover Bank in 2000. Discover Bank is mainly an online financial institution that offers many financial services such as checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts."

 

2nd one just turned one years old.

The prettiest part was the Cash rewards 5% + 5% cat. cash back match for the 1st year.

 

One thing I do note in reading the forum, Discover seems to like smaller/thinner profiles better.

And they really love you, if their card is your daily driver ...IMO

 

$433.14 totalSmiley Happy (used for gas and paypal categories)

used for one other purchase to get 2%

Even though it was far from my daily driver, I will take it!

 

 

You can also redeem cash back at Amazon.

Re: Am I wrong to want a Card because it's Pretty?!

@iced     I 1000% agree with that, altough I may drool over a really pretty card if it is a 500 AF for something crazy I know I wouldn't need or use I wouldn't suck that part up to get it what I worry is if it would fit into my wallet and I find it attractive even though I wasn't looking to add that card at the time (like this instance) if I wasn't looking to Add my 2nd NF next month I would seriously consider the Discover IT card because it is that pretty and has pretty good Cash Back (that I would use) Smiley Tongue
