I can't recall a single time where I or anyone I was with or near had ever commented on, thought anything of, or even really noticed what card somebody else was using to pay for food with.
- jschwartzi 10y agoPeople occasionally notice my USAA card, but it's more of a shibboleth for military families than for affluence.
- hbosch 10y agoI get this with my Navy Federal card. I dont have any "prestige" cards but I'd be surprised if anyone got more attention for them than I get for my standard issue NF debit.
- mrdmnd 10y agoI've noticed this too. I'm not actually in the military, but my grandfather was a doctor in the Navy and apparently we've been (literally) grandfathered in for perpetuity. The card has raised eyebrows in places I would not have imagined it would be noticed.
- jschwartzi 10y agoThat's almost exactly my situation. My dad was in the Army, so I'm grandfathered in, as well as anyone in my immediate family.
- brookside 10y agoOnly somewhat relatedly, The content of the constant ASAA ads during sporting events on TV strikes me as indirect but blatant military propaganda.
- morgante 10y agoI definitely notice and talk about cards with some friends, but not due to prestige so much as churning.
- delecti 10y agoAgreed. The solitary exception being if someone's is the same as mine.
- ajdlinux 10y agoI have enough friends who are fellow points collectors who will very much notice and comment on a given food outlet's Amex acceptance...
- Baeocystin 10y agoIt happens to me all the time. I have a cute picture of two dogs on my credit card, people love it. (As far what the card is? No one cares.)
- criddell 10y agoI've had retailers complain to me about AMEX's high fees. Does that count?
