Seriously, they are awesome! But, I agree, if they start cutting corners or increasing fees, they'll go right to the curb. Don't you think it's amazing that people make financial decisions based soley on the fact that the credit card they want to carry has the logo of their favorite sports team, or a picture of Tweety Bird? Never mind that it has a 25% interest rate... It has style! ;) Oh, but I loooooove my bank! Seriously, they are awesome!

I haven't seen personalised cards over here in the UK yet. I wonder when they'll bring them in.

It may be more likely for someone to glance at it and notice that it's not me than for somebody to check my signature.

I dunno, just spurred some thought on my part.

They don't touch on what's cause and what's effect.
