Mint Credit Cards



People say i'm a bit mad. Of all things i want to collect, i go and collect credit cards. Weeiii, it's not a hobby that anyone can afford to have, k. Only responsible people with good credit rating like me only can have such a weird hobby, k. Anyways, credit cards comes in so many shapes and colors these days. A very nice and handy item to have inside my purse.

Now, the conventional cards are usually rectangle-shaped. I can hardly find one that has a different shape to it. In 2003 MINT introduced Mint credit cards. There are two versions, a standard credit card and the MC2 card which has the bottom right-hand corner removed; this was the first change to the shape of credit cards in the UK for 37 years. Of course, i'll get the latter. Another nice card to my collection.

In September 2006 Mint launched the Mint Gift Card. It is basically a pre-paid credit card that you can give as a gift. As my mom does not have a credit card, maybe i can give her one of these ads a gift. She can buy what she likes using it. She can be used almost anywhere.
