RBS do a young person's account called Revolve, and you can use a picture of your own choice. Costs a fiver. You can also choose a picture from their library and that's free. You could put Martin on there and it'd scare you off spending.

I'd love a card with a pic on to scare people with

Well, most people do not know anything about a Vanquis Card, but you are informing more people on here about them, and so what if you have a poor credit rating, does it really bother you what some stranger in a supermarket queue thinks?

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I personally couldn't give a monkeys. I can just appreciate how others might give a monkeys because I sometimes find myself looking at the chip and pin reader thinking "that's a nice card". That's all; no biggie

Surely it is very useful to a canny shop keeper - anyone with a card incurring a monthly fee the retailer can immediately size them up as a style victim who is not careful with money and overcharge accordingly - no?

It may be sad, but I notice what plastic people in front of me in a queue are using.

And yes I like to have a nice smart looking debit/credit card.

It's each persons opinion on this, but I very much like to pull out the stylish looking plastic and not afraid to admit it.

The strangest card I have is my one that I have that is transparent - makes it really hard to read the numbers on it!

It is very sad, you and others like you are a product of the media and sales hype surrounding such shallow thinking.

Very, very sad.

Snobs don't use debit cards anyway, they use credit cards.

lol I do find it laughable how ppl like to be snobby over a credit card. What is so good about using money you don't have?

desperate.

If you want to look 'good', then get a private customer credit or something.

Anyway, at least the banks sales plan is working, e.g trying to make customers feel good/act more powerful than they are., cough cough advantage gold account ect.

They have an "account" which is usually settled at the end of the month. I have the same thing at my local pub so it must mean I am a snob ;p

I find that whenever I take my cards out in a shop, the people in the queue behind me are always looking.

It could be the fact that I have to pull 8 cards out of my wallet and fiddle through them all to find the right one to use.
