Use your plastic cards to spread the word

We all have them in our wallets, tons of the plastic goodies that give us cash, collect points or simply open doors (and I don’t mean by stuffing it between the doors and the frame). Now, recently I noted that in quite a lot of cases, the issuer lets us put a short text on the card — either it’s our account name, or some string identifier to distinguish the cards (like Nectar, cause you can have more than one in your family). Why not to exploit that?

In my case, I decided to identify the Nectar card with a bold sentence. You could also change the name of your bank account to some interesting sentence, because I noticed a lot of banks print that on the credit cards. No man at the counter will mess with you, when you have it clearly on the card that “I killed before” ;) Try it, make your plastic card say something important for a change.
