New Style Debit Cards

Marchitiello

My Amex are always issued with a 5 years expire date, so a card issued today would have been replacing one issued in 2018.

in any case Amex Members Since date indicate the very first product you have signed up with them, and it keeps that date even if you had gap years when you did not hold any of their cards. The Platinum card was in fact launched in 1984 in USA and some time later in the rest of the world.

Just received a replacement Amex Platinum and it's METAL (not platinum). Number has moved to the back.

You must've held the account a long while - it changed in 2019.

In other countries the Gold is also issued as a metal card (not gold tho!), over here it's just a flat plastic card tho sadly.

Nationwide used to do a Gold Visa card too, for some reason it didn’t have the same cachet!

This is a new Bank of Scotland card.

Love that. Although is that poor printing or just compression on the image?

It has widely been reported of people re-applying for an Amex and getting the original member since date (at least for the original Chargecard accounts, now credit cards. It may not apply to co-branded cards maybe (e.g. old Starwood, Cosco etc). It may also depend from the gap in years and/or if your old account has had issues and wrote off maybe

That highlights exactly why landscape orientation is better for most things.

It's certainly true that landscape orientation is usually better for bridges.

 Not as good for Skyscrapers though, or trees, or rockets....
