How cool is the new Amex Blue card?


I'll be honest — when I first saw the ad 3 years ago, I got one immediately simply because it was transparent (yeah, yeah...materialistic Asian, blah, blah — it was cool damnit). But, oh the dissapointment. When the card arrived in the mail, it was not clear. It was not cool. It was not supercalafragalistic. Apparently there were issues with it being clear because some ATM machines didn't recognize it since the detector depended on an opaque card. Simple people, simple pleasures, I guess.
