Personalised Debit Cards

It's Sunday afternoon so time for something frivolous

My debit card is due to expire so I've ordered a new personalised card with a photo on it. Mainly because I can, it's free and my card number will change anyway

I was going to have a photo of my cat but it died last year and I thought that'd be a bit sinister so I've used one of six cute kittens instead

Yes I know it's cheesy but I'm shallow and easily amused :)

Has anyone else done this or is it only me acting like a bit of a tool?

    I would do it if I could, but my bank don't offer it.

    I could personalise my card, but I don't really see the point as it spends most of its time in my wallet tucked away - I don't really get it out just to look at it.

    I've had a personalised card since they first trialled with Barclays, I've had a few comments on it ;)

    I tried to submit a picture that was nothing but black, but it was rejected saying that what I had submitted was a trademark !

    So, someone (I'm guessing FD) have trademarked the colour black.

    and of course UPS have trademarked the colour brown.

    I wonder how many other colours are trademarked.

    Has Martin trademarked the colour green I wonder?

    I've got one, I used a photo of a friend's cat. That said, I'm not particularly bothered by the look of a debit card, I must have been bored at the time
  • I have a personalised capital one card with a photo of my dog playing in the snow. Always makes me smile when I use it :)
