[nfb-talk] Credit cards

[Ashley Bramlett]

That is a good point as braille takes up more room.
you can get the number on it usually using two lines but not much else other 
than a short word to identify it.

How would you get the entire account number and exp date and other info
brailled on a little credit card? What I always do is take a 3 by 5
braillable index card (I get them from APH) and braille the numbers and
other info, including phone numbers, on the 3X5 card.  I have a small stack
of these in addition to my regular credit cards.  I keep the braille cards
separate from the plastic cards.  This has proven immensely helpful, not
just for credit and debit cards, but also for numbers on my photo id.  Does
anyone else do this?
Happy brailling

Why not use clear dimo tape and braille them, yourself.  Just have someone
help you, so the braille is on the frunt.  I never thought of doing this
until now.  I just might do this, myself!

Hello,
I was over at the mall and someone thought it would be a swell thing to use
my card even if it brought down the account.
this happened to my debit card, where I have a question.
When I got my new card today it has Braille on it.
I am wondering if the national would take on having all credit cards in
Braille if we share we are blind, so that we would know one card from
another?
yes I have places in my wallet where I keep all of my cards, while I do
enjoy the Braille on this one.
Just some thoughts.
I would write to  Mark Mauer if others thought they would like to see the
same thing happen.
Thanks,
