Hi All,

During the process of getting a new VISA debit card from Suncorp and found out that I can customise the design of the card with my own images.

Rather than go all sappy and have pics of the wife/kids, I thought I might do something a little more......me.

Take a look and let me know what you think, pretty cool huh?:D

Unleash the IIS people as a flood of customers......NOW!

Cheers

Chris

(I just use Suncorp personally and are not affiliated with them, I am sure other banks and Building societies/CU also can do this, check with yours to see)

Hey Chris that is unreal mate, :eyepop: If only I had a credit Card. :sadeyes:, I dont have any cards at all, and if i need cash i physically have to go to the bank and get some, which is probably a good thing for me as I'm very impulsive, ;) and think about it later :D

Leon :thumbsup:

Hi Leon,

Yes, but this isnt a credit card, its a VISA debit, acts like a credit card, but can only access your own funds, if there are none there, you cant buy stuff with it.

Allows you to purchase things online just like a credit card and can avoid eftpos fees when buying things using the "credit" button on the POS machine instead of CHQ or SAV.

I think my Jupiter and Saturn pics look quite cool, would like to see a Peter Ward or Strongmanmike image (and others of course) on there just to see what it would look like.

I was going to use a Hubblesite image but reconsidered as this is more personal.

Cheers

Chris

And just to advise others that the ANZ Bank also offer the same thing. I don't have Astro stuff on my card, I opted for a picture of my wife and I under the Las Vegas sign from our last trip.. I did see a couple of Stars in Vegas so does that count :question:.

Well at least if someone asks you what the interest rate is like, you can say "Astronomical" ;)

That looks cool. My Suncorp visa card expires soon I might see if I can get "my" Orion picture on one.

I have six credit cards, four debit cards and an overdreft of $80,000. I make $230,000 a year, own 4 flats in London which net me over $170,000 p/a and investments totalling 1.6m and yielding roughly 8%. I own a Porsche, a vintage Ferrari, a 42' Grand Banks and a Ducati 998. I can pick up the phone and talk to the Prime Mininster of Great Britain, The President of Indonesia, Russia and the PM of Japan The chairmans of Shell, BP, Exxon and Texaco, Citibank, Halliburton and BHP all know my name and take my advice.
By any standards I am well-off, prosperous and have a degree of "oompf" that few people can match.
And I would trade EVERYTHING and cut off my limbs if it would make my Spaniel, Gloriana, better. She has kidney failure and will probably not last the week.
All the money in the world, all the measures of success which we so assiduously obtain are as nothing compared to the loss of a loved-one.
I'm very happy for your achievement, Chris. Sorry to be so negative. Few of us get the breaks we deserve and good-on-ya!!!
But amidst all our high-priced aquisitions and achievments, I urge us to remember what really matters: The comfort and companionship of those we love (or like), our family, our pets and even those to whom we can make the slightest positive difference in life.
Hug your loved ones, spare a minute for those less fortunate and comfort the sick and sick at heart. Nothing else really matters.

I have one of these too - an eftpos card from Suncorp with my cat (a Lilac Burmese) on it :D.

I feel your pain Peter :(, as I too am coming to terms with losing a very beloved cat of mine who has in the last week been diagnosed with mouth cancer. All the money in the world cannot replace losing someone so precious :(. It is a horrid journey I face now too :(

Apologies everyone, for being a downer too.

Make sure you dont post a pic of the other side of the card or someone may end up with a TAk 150 at your expense... :eyepop:

No Worries Rom,

Just charge the Tak and anything else to:

Cardholder Name: My Design
Credit card no: 0000 0000 0000 0000

Should be sweet! ;)

Ps: All the best for Gloriana, Peter, Sorry to hear her plight (and yours)

Cheers

Chris
