30 Clever Credit Card Innovations

From Real Gold Charge Cards to Tween Idol Plastic Money

— December 10, 2012 — Business
Credit card designs have come a long way since the plastic money first hit the markets. Now you don't have to settle for the same boring templates of flowers or the bank's logo.

Instead you can feast your eyes on a rectangular card that has a portrait of three of your favorite Kardashian sisters. They like to spend money and so do you, so it is only fitting that Kim, Kourtney and Khloe should be at the front of your Mastercard. Perhaps you want to show off just how affluent you are, in that case have your gold card actually made of gold or adorned with tiny sparkling diamonds.

The Credit Card designs of this day and age can really display your personality every time you swipe them at the teller.
