No, it's a piece of plastic that contains the means to spend the money I earn on things I mostly don't need.

I used to have the Lloyds debit card that had the stupid olympic logo on it

I applied for a credit card mainly to have an Aston Villa one. I was denied and settled for building up a credit rating with a Capital One card. Oh well.

My Lloyds platinum card has the aforementioned stupid Olympic logo.

I had an old grey HSBC one but reported it lost cos it was too scuffed and wanted a new one, I knew that I would get a different colour card as HSBC has rebranded to HSBC Advance. The card I got is very colourful

no they haven't

that's just a particular account where you get some 'extras' or something in return for paying them a monthly fee

As long as I can tell them apart easily I'm happy. At one time both my LTSB credit and debit cards were green, this was inconvenient.

Mint I believe let you customise your card with whatever picture you want for a one off £10 fee.

Who cares?

It spends 99% of its time hiding in your wallet.

My Natwest card has a Humming Bird on it ( a photo I chose). Unfortunately they are stopping custom cards this year.

Welsh flag Visa card

My co-op debit is just plain blue

UnworthyBean · 5 Jun 2010 at 16:48

I still have a Natwest Adept (Adapt?) and I can get anything I want printed on the card for a fiver.

Yet I still have the boring purple card because I don't care

the best one i've seen is all black, probs got some pattern on it but i didn't notice. because the edge of it was green. that was particularly fetching

Don’t care about how they look so long as they work.
