.I don't think I would dream of handing over an Egg Money card at a properly posh restaurant.....

I hand mine over everywhere, it's 1% cashback on all my spending:money:

I don't have an outfit to match it but I can usually get out of the house in matching shoes LOL.:cool:

I had a transparent one through as my old white one wasn't chip and pin. But my OH, who is the second cardholder, apparently isn't being issued with a chip and pin (no idea why) so he still has the old white one which isn't due to expire for a year or so yet.

I don't like it myself, but had a shop assistant today say she did! I always have loads of comments on it actually, due to the blue holographic bit I suppose.

I've had comments on my (original) Blue AmEx. In fact, on one occasion the assistant at asda tried to chat me up! I was buying some wine and general groceries and she started making comments like "oooh, she must be in for a good time tonight - who's the lucky girl?" and "oooh, amex card too! wow, she's definitely lucky!". And this was a complete stranger in a store I rarely go to! I suppose asda assistants isn't used to seeing amex cards!

Not so sure about Amex handing out their cards willy nilly - have you tried?

Not sure who that is aimed at Aqua-Ian but if it was eagle then he has already said he has an amex blue and if it was me then yes I also have an amex blue.

Certain Amex cards carry a 'prestige' tag but everyone i know seems to have a Blue card.

You obviously move in good circles then Phoenix - just need to get up to everyone you know has a Black card and you'll have made it

When on holiday in france this summer I had loads of admiring comments (well OK 2 or 3) about my M&S card, black and green.

Actually, I had an AmEx Blue. Now I've moved on to something different...
