    I remember everyone raving about this credit card when it came out. But despite good advertising it still looks like a nose :laugh:

    I have that card, however it doesn't look like that, they're diamonds, not spheres!
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.

    The Morgan Stanley card used to look awesome, but sadly they were part of my IVA agreement, so I couldn't get another, and now they've become dull-as-Jimmy-Carr Barclaycard.

    OK, so I understand all the comments about no one really caring about what a card looks like etc, but I do.

    My last card was the Morgan Stanley Platinum. Once a rare prestigeous card they then let anyone have it, then they sold their members to barclaycard. It still looked much better than my egg card tho so I always used it.

    Im now only left with my egg card and new barclaycard. I dont care what some people on here think but I want a cool looking card to look good when I put it down on the table to pay for dinner. I'll never get an Amex black so what else is there.....
  • I need to get a credit card for some section-75 protection on buying some electrical goods, and for some overseas spending.

    It's going to get paid in full at the end of the month, so the interest rate doesn't matter.

    With this in mind, instead of going for a boring card from my bank, I'm looking for the "coolest-looking" card.

    I know you can't get the see-through Amex with the blue gem in the middle anymore, but is anything out there that is:

    *see through?
    *made of metal?
    *a funny shape?
    *with a lava-lamp-ish goo in the middle?


    The one with a low APR, Zero balance, high credit limit, looooong 0% interest on Bts and purchases.

    That is serious wind up!!
    Only complete fool would PAY to be able to use card and therefore doing favour to the banks.
    Halifax has got simple plain colours - looking just like this one but has an X in the middle of the card. I've got one in pink and everyone loves it but I am girl and going out to dinners with girls:rotfl: Also people who understand cards (not many out there) know that it is not sub-prime credit card and also at the moment they have 12 mths 0% on purchases.

    There should be some serious add-on benefits for £250 per year. Any idea what they are ? Travel Insurance ? First Class Lounge Access etc ?

    Well a bit of a waste of £250 in that case. Better go for Coutts World Card.
