Just another way to attract young people in having debt and ruining their lives.

I'm not falling for it.

ANZ does it for all their cards, not just credit. I have a personalised ATM card with my car on it, I'd post a pic of it but I don't have the email with the pic attached anymore.

Ok, ok... ease up guys.
: FFS.. It was a post about putting a pic on my card.. Not to launch into a tirade on the evils of credit cards!
And for the record, the ANZ card concerned is not only a Visa card, but also my Access account & my cheque account.
I fail to see how outlaying the HUGE sum of $15 for a pic on my card is either "falling for it" or ruining my life. :

and if you look closely boys and girls, you can see where the thread starts to head of topic...

Not really as with ANZ you can do bank cards (EFTPOS) as well.

Yeap my GF has a debit card, I agree its good.

Im at uni, and get caught out sometime like Im sure alot of people do, so thats when it coms in handy, I just pay whatever I spend off next time I get paid.

In the end it comes down to a bit of disipline I guess.

Most people these days NEED a credit card to meet their monthly expenses. Consider how much the basics have gone up, PLUS GST. We get screwed left right and centre while those in business and essential service providers get everybodys money! Plus everyone just has to have all the latest JUNK like plasma screens, iPods and associated crap. Who can afford to drink and smoke these days?

id love to have a customized pic on my card.....i cant wait to see nice young ladies putting WONDERFUL and Elegant pictures of themselves on the credit cards lol....that will start to get interesting....or is there a policy that restricks these kind of pictures.....

to tell you the truth (and yes i know this is off topic) i wont be moving out untill i have my proper job and i can sustain myself.

Your car, yourself/family or a tree is just about all you CAN put on the card:

No trademarks, logos, slogans, company names, get up, copyrighted material or brands of any third party
No advertising or promotional material, or branded products
No celebrities, actors, musicians, sportspeople, cartoons or public figures
No works of art
No phone numbers, addresses, URL addresses, account or PIN numbers
No provocative or sexual material
No violent or other offensive, obscene or indecent material
No nudity or semi-nudity
No bigotry, racism, hatred, profanity or obscenities
No alcohol, tobacco, gambling, firearms or pharmaceutical products
No images that show illegal or anti-social behaviour
No culturally or socially insensitive images
No images that display the opinions or beliefs of political groups, religious groups or socially unacceptable groups (e.g. political images, neo-Nazi images, gangs)
No libellous or defamatory content, or content which is otherwise in violation of any rules, regulations or laws to which the images are subject
No content not acceptable for persons under 18 years old.

I understand they need to protect themselves from all sorts of lawsuits the society of today can throw at them, but it does take the fun out of it a bit

i have a debit card and a credit card. the debit card i have is a visa, and it's fine for australian websites/purchases, but anything O/S won't work. whereast the credit card will. they both have their good and bad points, but as Al said you have to be smart.

I wonder if I could put a male and female symbol on it and a big 69 :P

I like the idea of a picture on the card. I'd put a pic of myself on there. But I'd only do it if it were a free sevice. They already charge an annual fee for their cards so it should be free IMHO.

Do the Commonwealth bank do it? their NZ subsidiary (ASB) don't do it on debit or credit cards.

Card number one is the best one i reckon Cobra.
