A credit card’s design isn’t necessarily the most important factor when deciding what type of credit card to apply for, but a unique and attractive credit card is bound to get some attention at your next shopping adventure, business luncheon or night on the town.
Credit card companies are freshening up some of their top cards this season to unveil a lineup of stylish, personalized credit cards that do double duty as a payment option and a fashion accessory. Take your pick from any of these top credit card designs for Spring 2009.
Credit Card Design No. 5: EXACT Prepaid Card
Simplistic and minimalist style is the best way to describe the EXACT Prepaid card, a silver and gray card with black accents and a colorful logo on the front. The card is a versatile pick for 2009, but is under-designed; you won’t find any special features or unique accents with this one.
Credit Card Design No. 4: Discover Motiva
Spring 2009’s most fashionable colors are purple and orange, and the Discover Motiva card may be a good way to flaunt the trend. The card is designed in rich, royal purple with orange accents, complete with a contemporary swirl and dot background. It’s an attractive and stylish way to make the most of Discover’s cash back bonus — especially if the card matches your purse.
Credit Card Design No. 3: Baby Phat
If you’re a self-professed fashionista who loves to show off her playful side, pick up some Baby Phat plastic, a personalized credit card designed with the famous feline logo. It’s the card that ranks high on the celeb factor and is sure to be a talking point at the register. Plus, it’s pink.
Credit Card Design No. 2: Blue from Amex
It’s an American classic with a signature semi-transparent card face to give you that edgy, techie, futuristic feel. The Blue from American Express credit card is designed with a built-in smart chip that keeps track of all your spending habits and earns you rewards on every swipe. The Blue’s mesmerizing swirl design and sleek silver trim make this one a truly distinctive card.
Credit Card Design No. 1: Visa Black
Holding this exclusive card gives you a chance to enjoy 24-hour concierge services, priority access at airport lounges, and to shop at some of the world’s finest luxury boutiques and outlets. The Visa Black card is made with carbon graphite materials and designed with chic, 007-inspired black and silver accents. The ultimate in personalized credit cards, this one is designed to be shown off and to give you the opportunity to enjoy the luxurious lifestyle.
