Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

It would, also I’m sure the real card is a duller blue than how it shows there and in Apple Pay/the app.

My card hasn’t held up very well considering I’ve rarely used it physically.

But totally understand why given the materials they’ve used.

I did go into a branch, but not sure that’s compulsory (like it is with Nationwide). My savings accounts both existed already and they just ordered a card.

Still hoping Barclays will update their debit card designs to match the new Barclaycards. My Avios Rewards BC is probably my favourite in my wallet at the moment - very minimalist.

Yea they are due for an refresh, although I don’t know if the Avios Mastercards ones are better but the Forward/Rewards that I’ve seen are really cheap feeling cards, and the core moves so the chip doesn’t align.

Much prefer the current Debit card other than the embossed details.

How did you get this?

HSBC Metal World Elite Mastercard | HSBC Canada.

Looks to only look like abroad.

World Elite MasterCard | Travel Credit Card - HSBC UK but doesn’t mention metal at a glance.

It’s a US credit card:

the old design was the best. lion in black metal card. the best HSBC card in the world:

I really can’t tell if I like that. One part of me thinks it looks really cool and then the other half just thinks it looks really scratched and damaged.

This :heart:

The US credit card is easily to get, but the credit limit is so low for not residency in the US. I recommend UK credit card the best.

What is the point of a savings card?

I believe you can withdraw money from the savings account at ATMs, but not use it to spend directly.

I think this has been posted before but it’s surprisingly nice, and the contrast between the reflective logo in the centre and the matte grey card works well. Not quite sure if the photos do it justice.
