Dutch cards

The Dutch Postbank allows you to create your own personalised bankcard for € 9,75 here, so you can create your very own special Firefox card :-)

read the rules:

However, I think if we can show that it is not an infringement of trademark there is no problem.

Don't think it is.

As much as I know, and I read the Mozilla policy before I got my card made, this falls in the category, "making your own baseball cap", it's personal and not for profit.

"You may make t-shirts, desktop wallpaper, or baseball caps with Mozilla
logos on them, though only for yourself and your friends (meaning
people from whom you don't receive anything of value in return)." See: mozilla trademark policy

So go for it if you can and if the bank complains about copyrights, refer to Mozilla's documentation.

Credit cards

Ummm, in the U.S. at least credit card issuing banks frequently do affiliate cards with groups, and share a piece of the revenue with the group.  I don't know if Firefox is set up as a non-profit in the U.S., but this would be an exceptional way to raise money for the cause.

Amazing

It became number 1 on Digg! Currently number 1 in the last 24 hours. I never imagined this would be so popular, it may now be the most seen bankcard in the world...

I just got the card yesterday, so I have not used it yet, but I am curious to see how people react when I pay with it.

Here's why:

Otto got his card from his local lending bank (SEB Eesti Ühispank) and this offer may vary widely depending on where in the world you do your banking.

Now if some other banks around the world (Bank of America, HSBC and/or BBVA, among others) would adopt this idea (whether for debit or credit cards), that would be great.

Sorry...

Sorry Otto,
I gave it 1 star because you blanked out your credit card number. :)

Nah, that's very cool, great dedication.

They have an online tool with which you can upload your image and then position it the way you want.
