Discover Card recently felt the need to "upgrade" my account to a "Platinum Card." I didn't ask for this, and I'm not entirely sure what the point is, since none of the terms of the account appear to be any different. Nevertheless, they did it, and I received a new card in the mail yesterday.
The new card prominently features an American Flag image, and a quick trip to their website shows several other flag motifs available to choose from. Just in case I got tired of this flag, I can chose another.
She Who Puts Up With Me took one look at my new credit card and wrinkled her nose. "Talk about a meaningless display of mindless patriotism," she commented. Me, I'm not so sure. Festooning a credit card with an American flag could just as easily have an entirely different meaning. You decide. Flag design on credit card: Mindless jingoism, or subtle political message?
