Seriously, Use This One
I have a number of credit cards, though I really don’t use most of them. My favorite is my ISU credit card, which I got a few years ago. It features a nice, crisp version of the Cyclones logo on a strong red background. I’ve always liked it (inasmuch as you can “like” a credit card.)
Anyway, the issuer upgraded me to a gold card some time ago and sent me a new one. This one was much uglier: the whole face was gold, with no contrast other than a dark outline of Cy. I kept it, but since my original card had plenty of room before expiration, I rarely used it.
Today, I got another copy of the gold card. Since there were years left before the other’s expiration, and the new had the same account number, limit, and all that, I can only conclude the bank is saying “Seriously, dude, use this one.”
