[nfb-talk] Credit cards

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I ment to only put the name of the card in braille, not all the imfo about it.  You can just put a v for visa and if 2 cards start with the same name use 2 letters to tell them apart.  All the other imfo is on my Apex or my computer.

Why would we need the cards brailled? Just keep them separate and have a record in paper braile or on one's note-taker or iPhone.

I wouldn't want Braille on the cards -- more expense for a small population
-- us -- who can devise strategies for getting the info ourselves.

More useful would be Braille or raised print on airline seates.

you can braille credit cards, but you cannot fit  all the info you need on them such as the expiration date.
I think it would be cool to have braille already come on them; if you braille them yourself, you may make a mistake.

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,
