Diamond VIP Credit Card

The Eurasian Bank in Kazakhstan has come up with a very glamorous way of honoring their VIP members: they're issuing them limited edition VISA cards embedded with diamonds and accented with gold.

Said to be the first of its kind in the world, the card is reserved only for the elite few members of the bank that have incomes of $300,000 a year or greater. The cards have an elaborate gold filigree design in the shape of a heart that features a 0.02 carat diamond in the center.

Crazy.

A New Visa Card For Spending Green

Filed under: Services

Your Centurion card comes with a lot of perks but saving the planet isn't one of them. The first card that purports to do that is the ReDirect Guide Visa , a credit card that promises to help fight climate change with every purchase and offers customers discounts from green businesses. A percentage of each purchase goes to carbon offset programs to fund renewable energy and sustainable development programs through Sustainable Travel International. The card is offered through ShoreBank Pacific which is the first FDIC-insured commercial bank in the U.S. committed to sustainable community development.
