Credit card personalising

Postby xenon_touchstone » Oct 1st, '06, 12:43



I've just come across this ad for Lloyds bank , where you can upload a picture and have it printed on your credit card.

Seems to me that this opens up a lot of territory for the resourceful magician, a carefully put together pic with several 'outs' would be useful, a full card face, or maybe just a pic of yourself with deck as talking point/advert.
I dont know if other banks do a similar service, but thought I'd throw the idea in the ring.

On the lighter side.....I would consider a picture of my wife with a note that says if she is using this card, consider it stolen!

And it would reduce credit card fraud cause the person accepting it will know if the image on the card doesn't match the person using it. Wouldn't work online though :cry:
