I just received my new HSBC Gold credit card (existing one nearing expiry). It’s about as far removed from Gold as I could imagine. More like matt sand, with a little straw thrown in:
For clarity, older Gold card on the left, new ‘Gold’ card on the right
I hate the 2-logo approach on the front. It’s a good looking card on the rear, flat numbers, expiry, CVV, contactless symbol, but the front - and the colour - thank goodness for Google Pay so I can ensure no-one sees me handling it.
