Why aren’t more credit cards cool?
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 at 5:10 pmSeriously, you’d think with all the major entertainment brands out there, they would make more credit cards out there featuring those brands.
So far I’ve found:
- Bank of America’s Star Trek Mastercard, featuring the Enterprise NCC 1701 from The Original Series
- Bank of America’s Star Wars Mastercard, featuring your choice of Yoda or Darth Vader
- FirstUSA’s KISS Visa, featuring mug shots of the four band members.
- First National Bank of Wamego’s Wizard of OZ card, featuring the Tin-man, and part of the proceeds from this card support the OZ Museum in Wamego.
Of course, its totally easy to go wrong, and back the wrong brands:
- MBNA’s Hello Kitty Visa. Although, it does feature the MyConcierge service which is typically only offered on MBNA’s more prestigious cards, it may be worth carrying if you can stomach the pink demon herself.
- Commerce Bank’s Garfield Visa, only the Jon Arbuckles of the world would carry something like this.
I prefer plain-jane credit cards

But this would be an option

I would prefer that my HSBC debit card sports the face of Haruhi Suzumiya
I actually really like the idea of this post. And I don’t really get American girls with Sanrio branded things.
… okay, I just don’t get girls.
