			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just received my Bank of America Platinum Plus in the mail today, I&#8217;m pretty sure this is not what its supposed to look like. I&#8217;ve blanked out the embossed information (which was properly embossed).</p>
<p><center><img src="http://adterrasperaspera.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=918"  alt="BoA Card without art" title="Bank of America card issued without the card art" width="475" height="317" /></center></p>
<p style="clear:both;">As you can see, the card is completely blank. If you&#8217;ve never seen one, look at the <a href="http://www2.bankofamerica.com/creditcards/?context_id=marketing_detail&#038;offer_id=ECOMM0908API00400800122011EN000&#038;requestTimeout=120&#038;router_flag=y">online application</a> for what its supposed to look like.</p>
<p>The back of the card is fine and has the mag stripe, all the art work, all the writing, the place you sign, and the rest of the stuff. Only the front is missing the art work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seriously, you&#8217;d think with all the major entertainment brands out there, they would make more credit cards out there featuring those brands.</p>
<p>So far I&#8217;ve found:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bank of America&#8217;s <a href="http://www.bankofamerica.com/creditcards/?context_id=marketing_detail&#038;offer_id=ECOMM090DAJS00500800122325EN000&#038;requestTimeout=120">Star Trek Mastercard</a>, featuring the Enterprise NCC 1701 from The Original Series</li>
<li>Bank of America&#8217;s <a href="https://wwwn.applyonlinenow.com/USCCapp/Ctl/entry?sc=CN0Z&#038;mc=A000001SJB">Star Wars Mastercard</a>, featuring your choice of Yoda or Darth Vader</li>
<li>FirstUSA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.firstusa.com/cgi-bin/webcgi/webserve.cgi?partner_dir_name=kiss&#038;page=cont">KISS Visa</a>, featuring mug shots of the four band members.</li>
<li>First National Bank of Wamego&#8217;s <a href="http://www.ozcreditcard.com/">Wizard of OZ</a> card, featuring the Tin-man, and part of the proceeds from this card support the OZ Museum in Wamego.</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, its totally easy to go wrong, and back the wrong brands:</p>
<ul>
<li>MBNA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.sanrio.com/main/mbna/card.html">Hello Kitty Visa</a>. Although, it does feature the <a href="https://wwwa.managerewardsonline.com/RMSapp/Ctl/link?eid=93938D56">MyConcierge</a> service which is typically only offered on MBNA&#8217;s more prestigious cards, it may be worth carrying if you can stomach the pink demon herself.</li>
<li>Commerce Bank&#8217;s <a href="http://www.commercebank.com/personal/cards/garfieldvisa1.asp">Garfield Visa</a>, only the Jon Arbuckles of the world would carry something like this.</li>
</ul>
