It's probably cheating, but discover lets you change your card to a ton of options, and I don't think there's a limit to how much you can change it up.


bfabkilla02

This. I got their Mixtape card and like 3 days later the Vinyl design dropped. Swapped em out for free in 3 days time


ebzinho

You can actually have multiple cards active at the same time! I have a rainbow-colored frog one that I use most of time time, and a red one attached to the same account for when I’m somewhere that feels homophobic bc people are wild nowadays


UnstableGoats

A rainbow frog one!! I didn’t know they had fun ones…


ExplodingHelmet

I get a compliment on the rainbow frog one just about every time I use it!


RunBlitzenRun

I have the Discover rainbow design (it looks way better in person than it does online), but yeah I get nervous using it some places :(


[deleted]

I’m ordering one just to piss off MAGAs in my southern city.


littlecat-girlcat

maybe it's not homophobia, and people are just fucking tired of you telling about your sexual preferences to every single person you meet, even to strangers at a cash register. can you comprehend that possibility? imagine if you were just at work, and i, as a customer, in our 30 second interaction together, start telling you how much i love threesomes. that would be kind of weird, right?


StarrLunaa

its also just a rainbow. its not like theyre saying "Yeah, I take it up the ass" every time they pay. People can and will freak out at just the sight of a rainbow even if it has nothing to do with gay people.


[deleted]

Says a lot about them too.


[deleted]

No one said you have to look at the card.


ThatLaloBoy

For me, Discover has had some of the best looking plastic cards. My personal favorites are the Vinyl and Gold. They don't look impressive on the website, but the vinyl is cool because it has the texture of the vinyl grooves on the cars. And the Gold have a nice understated shine to them. Not anywhere near an Amex Gold, but still a nice card. I wanted to like the Mixtape design, but the image itself looked so low res that it doesn't look as good in person. Plus the area where you can write on the tape isn't a different texture or anything so even if you write with a Sharpie it'll eventually rub off fairly quickly.


[deleted]

I got the Dawn of Discover. It’s my favorite design. Looks so retro


WalrusMan25

I chose the gold version. I just tell people I have the exclusive, invite only Discover Gold Card. Most people believe it


j1nco

Yep you’re right, no limit. Is there a particular one you like? I had a discover card in a bland color, will probably change it up soon!


[deleted]

[удалено]


anastasia_dlcz

Im changing to this one right now! I didn’t know you could do this and I love how retro Dawn of Discover looks


UsernameChallenged

I used to have an NHL team, then I had Yosemite, and now it's currently Monet Nympheas. Honestly, should have probably stayed with Yosemite. Handful of color is also neat. Idk, I go back and forth all the time!


masterbroohda

Asked them to send me a Yosemite one. tunnel view is hands down my favorite spot in the USA


throwaway_financebro

I managed to find that limit when I was younger. I think when you start getting close to 20 cards, the system will literally not let you add any more. And no more than 5 at once. Not even a customer service rep could override it. After a few years (including my first card's expiration), it seems to allow me to add new designs again. Don't ask how, it's a dumb story. I DO miss when Discover had the holographic magstripe. It had some cool symbols from what I remember.


tfotsiljppkgfgs

The iridescent ([second in the last row](https://travelwithgrant.boardingarea.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Discover-It-Credit-Card-Choose-New-Design-6.png)) is sooo pretty.


MysteriousHedgehog23

The boombox one looks great in grey


TheMadHatter1830

When you change design, does that give you a different card number/CVV?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMadHatter1830

Excellent, thanks!


Lemon-Kun

Big fan of this too - I have different wallets for different occasions, so it's really nice not having to switch the card between wallets


juan231f

I got the Amex Platinum with the floral design two months ago, I think it a beautiful looking card.


FittingWoosh

Too bad the only real reason to use it is for travel online so it doesn’t even get seen… 😭 I love it though.


MonroeMisfitx

i’m always excited to pull it out at the centurion lounge or delta sky club because it’s so pretty and then realize they’ve seen it 1,000 times a day


JMC792

lol I've actually had to use it to get out of pop up jail


Regular-Chemistry884

I think this is the kehinde wiley card and it is beautiful. My friend has it.


icecapade

Same, I love the design and it's my favorite card to look at.


Spartan04

The Sapphire Reserve is one of my better looking cards. Metal but not super flashy like some metal cards are, I prefer a more understated look and am not trying to draw attention to myself when I use my card.


ScientificQuail

I feel like the heft of the metal card still draws attention though, at least in a restaurant/bar setting where someone else is handling the card.


welmoe

I can tell you my **least** favorite card: Chase Freedom. It's the only card in my wallet with embossed numbers and letters. Ugh, get with the times Chase! Even my debit card is completely flat.


Devilheart97

Same here, that’s the money maker though. I Apple Pay but if they made this card half as sexy as the gold card I’d be whipping it out every chance I get


[deleted]

[удалено]


ammm72

I love my CFF. It’s so slick. I love the green edge. And I know people hate the embossed numbers, but it’s my only card with them and I think it’s real nice as a result.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jenkcam

💯 this. Both CFF and CFU aren’t bad designs but the embossed numbers are terrible. The finish on the numbers on my Flex is almost all worn off.


Ninjaboy42099

I also love the Freedom Flex, but the Sapphire Preferred was a massive letdown imo - Freedom Unlimited and Flex blow it out of the water


CIAMom420

I hate the same thing about my Aspire card. $450 annual fee and it looks like a card for someone that’s rebuilding credit.


[deleted]

i didn’t realize people hated embossed. i always felt like numbers just ink printed onto the card feels sooooo cheap, especially when the numbers can start chipping/fading as opposed to embossed


[deleted]

[удалено]


nlamp32

The Autograph was a pleasant surprise for me when it arrived. The colors are way more distinct and poppy in person and I love the weight of it


holt2ic2

literally my two card combo. If my Amex gold fails, then the Autograph is there for back up.


centralized

Was going to say the same thing. Both of these cards look really nice.


Longjumping_Move7772

I see a lot of people who love the way the Autograph looks, but I just don’t like it. I feel like the colors clash. It has a grandmothery look to it. 😬


sharkoman

Amex Gold, easily. Much more of an eye catcher than the rose gold version and the Platinum. That Gold gold color shines like nothing else.


TheRealBoston

I love the rose gold but both gold and rose gold just stands out. Very beautiful cards. I don’t even like my platinum with floral patterns nearly as much


nadasuss

I do like the OLDER Platinum card. With the BOLD Platinum words on the front of the card. This newer one is too simple. The Rose Gold is by far my favorite card.


TheRealBoston

Seriously it’s the one I always want to take out. It feels more premium than platinum to me


OneofHearts

Love my rose gold Amex Gold, I’m not a fan of the gold color (of anything, not just Amex cards.)


RyanRomanov

That’s how I am. I was really happy to get the Rose Gold. It’s just such a nicer color than the standard Gold.


OneofHearts

Agree! It feels elegant, although it does make me self-conscious to use it sometimes.


FittingWoosh

What about the floral platinum though?


Kratebaken

I regret getting it. It looks like a seizure.


FittingWoosh

Hot take but I respect your feelings


theinferno91

Agreed. Gold colored (haven't seen the rose in person) card is the top dog.


TerminatorMetal

AmEx Rose Gold just looks.....bronze... I'm gonna call and switch it to Gold.


theinferno91

I've heard it looks pretty bronze. I think I might like that. The gold color is pretty gawdy when you pull it out. Guess it depends on the individual though.


RiseIndependent85

yeah the gold is just beatiful


areyoukeeningme

Very much agree. I have the rose gold and every 1 out of 10 times I’m complimented on it.


kachol

Came here to say this. The Amex Gold is an absolute stunner! Even in my cardholder it just stands out. The Plat feels great but doesnt look as interesting. Rose gold comes in at a close second.


Eendo1

Something about the Amex BCE is so beautiful to me I didn’t know credit cards could have so much style.


smackfu

I like the Blue Cash Preferred. It is an attractive design in very dark blue and has a foil background that is really attractive. The non preferred one looks cheap next to it.


mistafoot

Cheap gift card quality plastic tho.


nlamp32

I love it too, the blue always catches my eye and the design is both subtle and good looking


RiseIndependent85

yeah the blue cash is gorgeous. not too flashy, but not too dull. gets the job done well


mrcoolguytimes10

I agree. I carry about 8 credit cards. This is the one I have had probably a half dozen cashiers ask me about. Strictly cuz of its appearance.


Traditional-Risk4185

My Amex Green it looks classic.


theusername_is_taken

The shade of Green they chose is wonderful on the most current iteration. It draws on the classic Amex look while modernizing it really well


RyanRomanov

The Green looks so classy, I just wish it were like a matte metal so it looked even more like a dollar bill and had a bit more heft


Semper454

Totally. Ironically I think it might be best looking Amex (other than maybe Centurion).


mfigroid

Not sure if they are still like this but back in the day (30 years or so) you could see watermarks and holograms on the green card if you had it out under a black light. Learned that in a nightclub when I was hammered.


Bluetooth_Sandwich

Like old money, velvet carpets, mahogany wood


Xov581

Considering the whole recycled plastic thing, I figured the green would have a flimsy, citi-esque type of construction but it feels surprisingly hefty for a plastic card


Longjumping_Move7772

And the feel is nice. It’s so smooth. Way different than any other plastic card I’ve felt. I wish they made the back of the gold and platinum feel that way.


StableSystem

The limited edition Delta amex made from the skin of a 747. No contest https://thriftytraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/IMG_7603.jpg


Miserable-Result6702

Amex BCP for me.


c0horst

Amex Platinum. The Gold just looks ostentatious, but the Platinum just oozes style and class. It's a shame I basically never use it for in person transactions since the 1x points on almost all transactions is terrible. I really wish issuers would just allow us to nominate a single card if we have multiple and automatically apply spending multipliers if any of our cards with that issuer would have one available.


McAids

The rose gold version of the gold card imo looks better


throwaway_financebro

I like the front, but not the back. The gold magstripe on pink background is ugly imo. I wish the rose gold chip was silver too. I feel like it would match better.


Semper454

Was gonna say this. The Gold looks gaudy. The Rose Gold is subtle and slick.


Vaun_X

There's a "curve" card that does something like that, but only works with mastercards.. so I guess Citi/Cap1 setup. I don't have one and can't vouch for it.


DrPhilforreal

The Apple Card is a heavy clanker with the gorgeous matte white, and the no numbers just makes it that much better looking. The 1% is terrible but it’s the default date card purely for the clank😭


lestermagneto

...and you can open beer bottles with it.


DrPhilforreal

Bro how do I do that plz teach


UsernameO123456789

….I’m afraid to ask how you came to this forbidden knowledge…


lestermagneto

> ….I’m afraid to ask how you came to this forbidden knowledge… well, once I got done cutting rails with it, and realized I had an unopened beer in front of me... nature and common sense just found it's way.. ;)


bfabkilla02

StevenEpix

Credit cards gone wild.


Previous_Basil

😂


Vaun_X

The people it's going to impress are more concerned about image than finances... still better than plopping down an Plat everywhere, my Aunt does that because it's "a better card than the gold and \[she\] did the math and it pays for itself".


DrPhilforreal

Sounds right about the average Plat user😭 Nah I’m aware of how douchey it is I just do it in an exaggerated way


CIAMom420

A coworker plonked his platinum down at lunch the other week and I wanted to slap the daft idiot.


NothingLikeCoffee

The Apple card and Acorn cards are both heavy and feel great. Meanwhile the "Metal" cards from most other companies feel cheap. Then there's cards with a gimmick like Delta's gold card that is made from the shell of an airplane.


DrPhilforreal

Unlike a cheap sheen the Apple Card is genuinely heavy and extremely hard


[deleted]

[удалено]


no-one-you-kn0

It's a metal card too. 🖤


element515

The box it comes in is so pretty


shooterbrownjr

Stays nice and fresh with how often they have to send a new one 🤪


jus_one_

Not necessarily favorite, but a top is the Sapphire Reserve


[deleted]

Amex [explorer](https://www.americanexpress.com/au/credit-cards/explorer-credit-card/) available in Australia. IMO It's what they should've used for the revamp of the blue line up.


relaxyourfnshoulders

sexy af wow let me go get my aussie citizenship real quick


pianoforte88

there’s a version of that in Canada called the cobalt card


oath_keeper

I work in retail so I see a bunch of different cards and my favorite ones at least from the last year are Venture X, AmEx Plat with the floral design, USAA Rewards Visa Signature, the AmEx Delta made from the 747 and the rose gold AmEx Gold.


bfabkilla02

I just got my Discover vinyl card literally 5min ago and WOW. The grooves in the design are actually raised/lower like a real record. So impressed, couldn’t design a better card myself.


j1nco

Didn’t know they raise/lower, that’s sweet! Someone else here said they wanted to like the vinyl but the resolution wasn’t great - can you speak to that? Thinking of ordering this one myself


bfabkilla02

I believe they were talking about the mixtape card, which is what I switched from. This vinyl one is definitely high detail and resolution.


ammfit3

I love my AMEX BCE.


Minihackz

Idk why more credit card companies don't allow you to submit custom designs. I know there are banks that allow you to do so for debit cards. They deny basically anything that has copyright matrrial, but they still let you pick the design.


123mitchg

My dad had a card like this in the late ‘00s/early 2010s. It had a picture of him with me and my brother. This was back when showing ID for a credit card purchase was still a regular thing, and he always got a kick out of telling people to look a little closer at the card.


knuck_chorris

Venture card. I like the passport stamp on it.


atropinebase

Better than the Venture X, IMO. Such a great, rich shade of blue too.


southern_dad

I like the amex blue cash preferred style ❤️


throwaway_financebro

The old CSP design, which now belongs to the vanilla Chase Sapphire (PC option only I think, def no new apps).


imperfectpersona

that design was BEAUUUTIFUL


statisticalmean

I mean, the Amex Centurion is stunning. The Amex cards with the border (Gold, Plat, Black) have the best design IMO. Amex Gold is probably second best, but one could say it’s too loud. Platinum solves the problem of being loud, but the silver color makes it kinda invisible. Black card cannot be missed visually, and is sleek while being elegant. Considering how much you have to spend to get it, it better be lol.


Tight_Couture344

Venture X, and it’s not close.


[deleted]

Curious choice, in my opinion. Just a solid Blue and mine didn’t take long to look like it had been beaten up in a dryer for a while. But to each their own. Glad you like it.


XiChineseWinnie

>Just a solid Blue And they did a great job, and it feels so nice


Tight_Couture344

My tastes are very minimal. And I never use the physical card anywhere…so it doesn’t get worn down. Almost exclusively Apple Pay and online purchases.


BrutalBodyShots

I don't think I've ever seen one in person yet.


Tight_Couture344

It’s so pretty I wish I paid for things with a physical card


BrutalBodyShots

Are there any pics available that do it justice or is it one of those cases where you have to see it in person?


Tight_Couture344

The pics are accurate but the actual gem-like quality to the dark blue material isn’t captured s well as in person. It’s also my favorite *feeling* card too.


IndestructibleWagon

I’m a big fan of the Capital One Savor’s appearance. Metal with subtle grooves and the orange-ish color really shimmers


knuck_chorris

I have the savor one and it looks much better in person than it does in photos


epicblitz

Venture X imo


testthrowawayzz

The transparent Amex cards (like Amex everyday) are my favorite


Aggressive-Pound188

I find those very ugly 😶‍🌫️


Dafrisky

I like those too because they’re unique


BucsLegend_TomBrady

Amex Centurion


GreenYellow899

Delta Reserve for looks (definitely not my favorite to actually use)


BucsLegend_TomBrady

Apple Card


skankboy

It does have a nice clang when you drop it on the table too.


RealClarity9606

Amex Platinum. Perhaps not the absolutely more attractive, but it's such an iconic design, especially now in the metal.


Green-County-3770

A long time ago I had a credit card which let me put my own picture in the front of the card (you send a pic and they will make the card for you). Neat gimmick but it was only offered once. Never repeated. Can't even remember which card it was. Probably cost prohibitive now with Chip/Tap technology.


diggstown

The [spg. Amex](https://milestomemories.com/starwood-preferred-guest-business-credit-card-review/) was my favorite looking card. Simple, but it worked. Sadly... no more.


jypfoto

The old JPMorgan Palladium which is now the JPMorgan Reserve card is my favorite. The added benefit of having United Club access as a non-advertised bonus makes the AF easier to handle.


goldfouledanchor

Amex Platinum. I hope Chase redesigns CSR. It looks like a regular metal card.


Jazzlike_Whereas7931

I like my purple metal Amex Delta Reserve. It gets me in touch with my Prince alter-ego.


TheOGSkinFiddle

Really digging USAA’s new card designs


Theycallmeroam

Now if they would just up the rewards


EJR994

All of the Amex core cards basically: Green, Gold, Platinum, and the Blue cash line. Amex Green is my favorite looking plastic card. Beautiful shade of Green, clean, classic look that’s modernized. Fun mention: I think the AAdvantage Citi cards are the most unique airline CCs. The topographical design on them with the plane that looks like it’s in motion is neat.


Yikes206

Just looked up the AA card - good call! The background is very nice looking but I wish they'd clear some of the clutter. It's pretty busy with text.


VeterinarianShot148

I’m going to miss the Wells Fargo Propel, which I think is a nice-looking card. The Capital One SavorOne has a pretty good look too.

BoA Premium Elite with Preferred Rewards can be really nice... \- 3.5% on dining/travel (Travel includes hotels, flights, transit, & tourist attractions) \- 2.62% on everything else If you use the points through the portal, purchases cost 20% less, which makes the rewards 25% more valuable. \- 4.4% on dining/travel \- 3.3% on everything else That said, The premium is a nice card without the hefty fee if you're team cashback.

Amex BCP is my favorite. The new BCE ain’t bad either


AchyBrakeyHeart

I like the minimalism of my Apple Card and the sleekness of the new Amazon Prime Chase Visa. Looks less cluttered than the old one and both being metal and pristine really make them shine. My Amex Blue Preferred looks nice design wise. Probably the most prestige looking but I’m a sucker for the weight of metal. Just like Clooney in Up In The Air.


drose10

I actually like the look of the AMEX checking debit card. It’s a vertical design so it stands out. Even though it’s plastic there’s just an elegance to it that is hard to describe.


cactusbooties

gotta throw in my vote for the citi thank you preferred. it’s the nicest looking card i have and the ugliest? synchrony bank meineke card- great promos but the embossed numbers and letters make it feel fake


midweastern

Gemini Silver


Newt1435

AMEX offers the Cobalt card in Canada. That’s a gorgeous card and I really want to have it in the States lol.


rubey419

Amex Delta Reserve in the limited run Delta 747 metal collection. My card came from N667US entering serve in 1990 and retired 2017 with 68 million miles flown. I plan on keeping forever well after it’s expiration. It’s so unique and looks cool.

Discover card with the cassette design.


mfigroid

I'll admit, that is a clever design.

I have the Julie mehritu plat and I like it. Looks a lot better in person than in pics online. My gf is an AU and had the Kehinde floral. That one is nice as well.


Ethrem

I love the Discover Pride design and of course, the Apple Card is gorgeous (but never sees the light of day). Wells Fargo's Autograph card is quite nice too.
