Credit Card Image Designs

I have previously attempted to make a controversial credit card design ... only to have it rejected. I have tried once again:


For every $1 spent ¢3 will be donated
to the Gilbert- Syndrome Foundation.
That particular disease has no harmful symptoms at all (but there is a decreased risk for heart disease!) Unfortunately this image was initially rejected ...

Capital One® what’s in your wallet?

Sorry, we were unable to approve the image you submitted
Sorry the image you submitted for your Capital One® Image CardSM has been rejected. We will not approve any images that contain the following: 
Commercial solicitation or promotional material 
If you believe that you have been declined in error, please call us at 1-866-381-0451. 
This is an automated message.
I called them though and now have an appeal in progress ...

In case this fails I may try to make a meme-based credit card image ... any ideas?

  2. Capital One clearly has a smaller sense of humor than its commercials would lead one to believe.

    Did you explain the joke? That there is no such thing as a Gilbert Syndrome Foundation?

  3. yes I explained the joke - how it can't be promotion because the thing doesn't exist! (Didn't mention the tax exempt joke part)

  4. Maybe I've lost my sense of humor, but I don't get why putting "Tax Exempt" on your card is funny. Are you hoping to avoid sales tax?

  5. no not trying to evade taxes. Also - not funny by itself, I expect the reactions of people to be funny.

  6. OK, I hear that. But how often do you hand a CC to a person, and not use those self-swipy things?

  8. The cashiers generally can't even make change of a dollar unless the register calculates it for them; Do you really think any of them will be bright or perceptive enough to pick up on your ridiculousness?
