+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted June 8, 2012 Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 8, 2012 Hey All, I have a general question, ive tried to take Barclays up on their free custom debit card offer, where you can upload your own picture and make a custom card for yourself, however every design i submit keeps being rejected, and they are mainly landscape pictures i am submitting (ie, no logos etc) Has anyone successfully submitted a picture? if so.... what? Also i could do with some inspiration as to a sweet looking design i could try and use? I would be welcome to any suggestions :) If you want to have a play about with the card designer, the link is here, http://www.barclays.co.uk/PersonalisedDebitCard/BarclaysPersonalisedCard/P1242605602883 if it asks you for the first part of a card number, you can use the Barclays General number which is 4659 01 (note to Mod's, this is not a personal detail, 4659 represents Barclays Bank) I thought it would be cool do see some smart designs, please no flame :( /hides Thanks :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1082827-anyone-tried-barclays-personalised-cards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted June 8, 2012 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 8, 2012 I made a matrix computer code style picture using 1' and 0's in Photoshop from scratch, it looked very amateurish yet was denied, it seems anything i try just gets denied :/ Maybe they want you to really use the example layouts?

+Byt Subscriber¹ Posted June 8, 2012 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think for personal photos you need to ring up and confirm you have their permission and that they are over 16, but its a premium rate number i believe :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1082827-anyone-tried-barclays-personalised-cards/#findComment-594919401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassed Silver Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I tried putting Fry from Futurama on, the shut up and take my money image, and they denied it on copyright grounds. Lord in hell, genius idea! I literally want to cancel my cc order with Barclays and get that! Might be not too late. Regarding copyright: Just email the producer and ask for permissions? It's nothing bad and surely some fun advertisement for the show! :D Glassed Silver:ios Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1082827-anyone-tried-barclays-personalised-cards/#findComment-594919483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ordered this! Not bad for free. Let's hope it works. I just ordered one of my dog too but forgot to screenshot it before ordering, My WP7 one got refused Fingers crossed, if its refused with personal pet photos, there's something wrong their end (I wonder if anyone has been stupid enough to ask for their PIN to be printed on it :D It wouldn't surprise me ! ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1082827-anyone-tried-barclays-personalised-cards/#findComment-594920513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Photo of my dog went through fine, but I never even thought about the card number changing, now I have to do that whole stupid Paypal ?1 thing again ---------- Thank you for using the Barclays Personalised Card Designer. Your order has been confirmed and is now being processed. You should expect to receive your new card within the next 5 working days. When you receive your new card, please destroy your old card by cutting it through the chip. Note that your card number will change, so if you've registered your current card's details anywhere online or have recurring payments set up for it, you'll need to update these details when your new card arrives. We hope you enjoy your new card!

djdanster Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I got my personalised card through the other week. I think how it works is it uses a system similar to Tineye. I got my image of the Eiffel Tower through passed first time. The service is quite cool and the card came through in 2 days. The finish is decent on the card also. It doesn't look like a cheap layer smacked onto the top.
