Credit Card Colour Impresses
Credit Cards will also become redundant.
Credits cards and colour. They are status symbols and not means of payment because they are old technology, dinosaurs actually. All your accounts are linked electronically, including credit cards, so you don’t need the plastic.
The ATM at the mall, phone or computer asks you about the
account. From which account do you want
to make the payment savings or chequing?
Even table card readers, waiters bring to the table also have the credit
card option, if you are paying by credit card.
You just press credit.
All that could be in one card, let’s say your debit card. You don’t need credit cards whatever colour:
gold, black, platinum or cobalt blue.
Electronic banking made cheques redundant. It also made credit cards dinosaurs.
But colour matters O.K.
There are lovers to impress, business associates to impress, ex-wives to
impress, waiters to impress, even political enemies you take out to dinner. You can’t produce a Mickey Mouse credit
card. Membership has its privileges, a
marketing strategy from one of the credit card peddlers.
Points and Air Miles perpetuate the fallacy that we need
them. The more you spend the more points
to accumulate. We have become
robots. We can’t think anymore. We don’t buy things because we need
them. Somebody tells us to shop for
points.
I’ll just keep using my pink credit card until credit cards
go out of business cards and everything is in one card. It’s electronic banking, isn’t it?
Hold it. Are there
pink credit cards?
