Good lord

[Big Bear]

Recycled Discover cards? No? Damn.

 

I'm all for recycling but this seems a bit too pearl-clutching and gimmicky for my taste.

[TheVig]

Trying to cater to the Flipper and spotted owl crowd.

Maybe there are a few made from the shreds of my old card that I canceled before I knew any better. o.O

[Big Bear]

Let's just make them all out of metal and be done with it.

Probably the same clientele that would pay premium for perfume made from whale barf

Probably the same clientele that would pay premium for perfume made from whale barf

Or essential oils.

Will AMEX eliminate the 'blacklist' to get enough customers to hand this card out to, in order to make using recycled plastics commercially viable?

Yeah speaking of things that smell like barf....

[mendelssohn]

Sounds like an idea Diners Club should consider.

On a positive note for many of you, there are bound to be a couple used condoms mixed in with the ocean plastics.

They already tried to roll out a promotion made of cold, wet, garbage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was called Plenti.

BofA's new cards don't look or feel like plastic. They feel like laminated cardboard. Also, the CC number isn't on the front any more, just my name. The number is stamped on the back of the card. At first I thought it was a fake card when I received it in the mail after BofA cancelled my old card for suspicious activity.

I'm trying to get my friends in the Midwest to stop using plastic straws. To keep our oceans clean.

We keep trying to get the city of Flint to stop drinking out of water bottles, but they keep complaining about things like lead poisoning.

Some people will find ANYTHING to complain about.
