    I've got a portrait photo of me and Mrs B on mine. Saves carrying around a photo AND a debit card :)

    And we get nice comments when handing it over too - one cashier in Wetherspoons asked if we were models for the bank :P

    I tried to submit a picture that was nothing but black...

    I had too many black cards and inevitably tried to use the wrong one in Costco - so I welcomed the opportunity to personalise one of them.

    have personalised both my Barc ones ages ago, helps me not mix them up.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    I've personalised mine and love seeing that so many customers have chosen to personalise theirs too. Mine have my children on them ~ encourages me not to spend as that money will one day be theirs. I also like them as it's away of having a photo of them with me without it getting torn in my purse.

    Mine has a pic of my kids on it, I love it. Loads of people have commented on it when they have seen it.

    I really want a personalized card but Lloyds dont do it!!

    To the poster who was talking about trademarked colours, think Post Office or Royal Mail have trademarked the colour red lol

    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?

    There is nothing wrong with your idea. You are not hurting anyone. We are all pleased by different things. I would personalise my debit card but I don't use it, all of my purchases go on my Barclaycard as I am essentially cashless and like the extra security which credit cards offer. All the best.

    I think there's a difference between personalising your card and choosing an account based upon the look of a card, but perhaps I'm justifying my actions.
