PotO Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm going to guess once they accept U.S. customers, they'll be using a U.S. bank with an online PIN for the chip. In Europe, it's what the Europeans do. I think even in Europe their card isn't chipped. Wait a minute ... my mistake ... I just saw on their website that the card does have a chip in it. This could be interesting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repairerer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I used to want that JCB card but I never got around to sending in the paper application before they took them all away. Any good oddballs these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Credit Ed Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Received this today, it is very sharp looking. (Yes, it's a sucky debit card. Varo had an offer - deposit $25 and spend $25 and get a $25 SUB. So I deposited $30, a couple of weeks ago and purchased a $29 Amazon gift card just now. According to the fine print, I will receive my SUB in 10-14 days and I'll have $26.00 available to spend - which I will use to buy a $26 Amazon gift card 🙂 I kind of love Fintech sign up offers.)

Burgerwars Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) The Bread Financial Amex credit card looks nice. I know it's Comenity, but still a good looking card. I don't have one yet. https://d.comenity.net/ac/breadcashback/public/home Edited March 19, 2023 by Burgerwars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be even cooler if it were blacklight reactive! Unfortunately, Discover cards are strictly sock drawered in our household. It's a shame ... other issuers' metal cards are so passe, by comparison. Burgerwars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't bust 'em out for the 5% stuff? That's >99% of my Disco usage these days, at least when the category is useful (groceries right now so that was an easy win). I wish I had saved cards from my past. Two specifically, the Hooters card from Merrick Bank, just because, and WaMu used to have the "Democratic National Committee" card. Nothing fancy, it just had the donkey logo, whenever I used it people asked if I was a Democratic Party Official, lol. My current portfolio, sad to say they're all kind of lame, discounting the CrapOne card that let me pick my own image. The prettiest stock image card is probably my NFCU Debit/ATM card, the red stands out in a sleek way the equally red Target REDcard does not. Of course, it's debit, so it basically never gets used. Also, RIP WaMu. You were a lot easier to deal with than Chase and you gave me my first "real" CL. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's >99% of my Disco usage these days, at least when the category is useful (groceries right now so that was an easy win). Nope. The $1500 quarterly spend cap and changing categories are too much a nuisance. We have 2 Amex Blue Cash Pref to keep us flush with 6% cb on grocery purchases. 2 US Bank Cash + to keep the 5% cb meter running on utilities and cell charges. Chase Sapphire Reserve keeps the kettle going with 4.5% effective cb on dining/travel. Amazon's covered with a Store Card. About the only place where Discover cb could play a role would be with digital wallet purchases; but I'm a sufficient Luddite that I haven't picked up on the appeal of that play. So, it's really only the occasional Disco bt that keeps my and DW cards running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A secondary appeal is backup payment method if you forget your wallet. I rarely use Apple Pay myself but the bulk of my DD cards are registered there. It has saved my bacon a few times when I've neglected my wallet and not realized it until at POS with blank look on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, nevermind, the Unlimited Cash Back card manages to look and feel like they were going for the cardboard fake credit card that is in some mailed credit card offers I swear the chip looks like it's printed on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the Platinum (purple one) and Unlimited Cash Back (black one) It looks like you need an invite to apply. Years ago Ally had a credit card but sent everyone packing to TD Bank. I'm surprised they're starting a new credit card after getting rid of their accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binaryhermit Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Probably related to their acquisition of Ollo. it's amazing how cheap the card feels/looks tbh hegemony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binaryhermit Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 To be fair, I will admit I'm being a whiny Karen type here about all this. But the app and site, which probably are just reskinned Ollo stuff and appear to be switching over to Ally proper's stuff "soon" are horrible as well.
