Credit cards with unusual designs?

Daneel

I get bored with the usual silver / black / monolithic design of most credit cards, and was very pleased to get a 1% cashback credit card from capital one several years ago with a cute pink piglet on it. Unfortunately, capital one replaced the card last month with a standard one, and having called them, I was told that they only do the current design.

It's a minor point, but people remembered my credit card and often commented on it which I liked.

Does anyone know of any credit cards available with interesting designs, particularly cashback cards?

Thanks!

You're really looking to choose a credit card based on design?

Wow.

My capital one card is 1% cashback and I don't think has any limits that will restrict what I get back, and with the amount I spend, it's ahead of the amex cashback cards. So initially, no, the design was just a bonus, but I've come to like it and if I can find another card that gives me good cashback and a good design, I can switch to that as my default. If I can't find a good cashback card with a good design, I may not bother, or I might get it just because I like it.

If you find that amazing, I'm glad to have amazed.

Nothing stopping you cutting a nice picture from a magazine or similar and sticking it to the front of the card, as long as it doesn't obsciure any of the info or cover the chip or prevent it going into a card reader.

Thats mine, However only a student credit card, I get 1% cashback in shops plus Barclaycard Freedom (Opened account years ago). Don't think its available anymore sadly

But I thought I'd shake the funky design

CapitalOne offer the imagecard (of our own photo) in the US but not, AFAIK in the UK. http://www.capitalone.com/imagecard/

I think RBS and mint used to offer one in the UK for £5 but nothing on website now

Best I could find now is: Design your own Prepaid card: http://www.compareprepaid.co.uk/design-card.html

Capital One did that to me too! I used to love my credit card as it had a Chinese dragon on it, with "Good Luck" written in mandarin - until I lost it recently and although I was told that I'd get the same design, I got a bog standard one

I'm a bit like you, it's nice to stand out from time to time. Unfortunately they are not very creative here. Mint kind of stands out as they are far and few between but no cash back ones I don't think.
