What’s a credit card you liked just for its looks?

I really like the purple/maroon colors of the new Propel card, and it being metal with no AF just sealed the deal for me, I’ve always wanted a metal card. Have any of you wanted or gotten a card partly for its looks? I love the sleekness of the Black, Gold and White cards too. 

 

I also really like the design of the Petal card, but I’m not their target audience and it’s unlikely I’ll be qualified for it. I also don’t need the card at all. Guess I’ll update the backgrounds of my Capital One cards and have that tide me over while I garden!

Aesthetically speaking, I like Amex Magnet and Cap One Savor.

How is the Marvel card not mentioned at all?!?!?!  I think it's the only reason why people get the card Smiley Happy

Are we only talking current cards?

 

Back in the late 1990's and early 2000's there was a bank called Providian. Providian was like a Capital One in that they offered fairly legitimate cards to people that otherwise may not be able to get a good card. They had some handsome designs that mimicked the era's standard Visa designs; blue for classic, Gold and eventually platinum. They only added their bank name to that with their logo of like a man holding a cauldron (like the kind they have at the olympics). Sadly, that was such a long time ago that I can't find any pictures of that design. But I did find this one. It was pretty handsome for the time, especially for a rebuilder/starter card:

That Providian card brought back so many memories! My father had that card when I was young. Thanks for that!

Wow!  Had the Providian Gold back in the day.  Current:  Am Ex Plat or Merrill+!

OK, are you in Colorado smoking some weed?  Blispay?  That's the cheapest credit card I have ever had.  Reminds me of a room card at a hotel.

I like the new Sportsman's Guide Visa cards.
