What are the coolest looking credit cards... with annual fee less than $500...

"Coolest," I am not sure if that has a proper answer. Opinions will vary from person to person. And rather than focusing on how something looks, specially if you're paying an annual fee, you should focus on the rewards that cards offer and how they benefit you. 


+1.

 

However, with that disclaimer, my fav card to look at in my wallet is my BCE.   I'd consider Amex PRG for it's classic good looks.  


Is the BCE clear like my BCP? I was a little put off that it was clear, but now I'm starting to like it. 

Josh, besides looks there is the material - I think metal cards are cool (CSP etc). But I wouldn't pay for that coolness. Chase Mariott rewards is nice looking. The Dubai First Royale would probably turn heads. I prefer something more classy like the JP Morgan cards


BCE & BCP are essentiall the same...clear at the bottom, but frosted as you go up.  And the embossed characters are irredescent.   I may opt fot the EMV chip later when this card gets more run down, mainly for looks.  AMEX has good looking cards.   Too bad we don't have the Harrod's Amex here.  

 

And yes...the Palladium is a beautiful card.

Re: Coolest looking credit cards?

I've only gotten compliments on two cards that I have:

AMEX BCE: once or twice

Discover (Beach card): three times

 

I find that most people don't seem to care how a card looks. Smiley Happy
