Razer made a light up (non rgb) prepaid credit card

Gaming peripheral company Razer is known for making a lot of... interesting products that go well beyond its core PC hardware market. But nothing prepared me for today’s news of Razer’s latest venture: a light-up prepaid credit card.

That’s right. Razer has created its very own card that lights up, and I am more surprised it doesn’t have RGB lighting than it exists at all. Still, the Razer logo on the front of the card glows in the company’s signature green each time you use it for contactless payments, which is a nice touch. There are two other ways to get the card: a virtual version for a digital wallet app or a standard black card, which does not light up.

Now, you’re probably asking yourself “Why does this exist?” Well, the card is designed so customers can earn some of Razer’s “unique gamified rewards.” Razer says its reward system is different than loyalty programs, as it allows card holders to track, score, and redeem rewards based on tasks and everyday transactions.

Quote

The card is currently in beta, so customers can get a temporary 10 percent discount on purchases through Razer’s online store with the chance to redeem “up to $2,000 worth of Razer gear and free card upgrades.” Razer did not detail what type of rewards would be redeemable, but I’d like to think at least one of the rewards might be a gaming laptop.

Unfortunately, the light-up Razer card’s beta is only available in Singapore to the first 1,337 people who sign up for it.

No rgb? A huge disappointment from razer smh. Also I wonder how it works like do I need to charge it? Welcome to 2020 where you have to change batteries or charge your credit card with electricity.

I'm sure these customers are going to make a ton of Razer purchases based on how shoddy the long term quality of their products are.

 

There, your mandated joke about Razer quality and reliability whenever there's a news topic about them. 

[Trik'Stari]

I'm not gonna lie.

 

It's an awesome looking concept. Give me a thin line of neon purple around the very edge of the card and I'm sold.

It looks like this is Singapore-only right now. If it ever does make its way to the US, I will have lots of questions to post about it that, while not revealing too much about myself, will at least give everyone a good idea of what I do for a living.

Yes all cool kids have a gaming card

[Intergalacticbits]

I love this but your right it definitely needs rgb. 

Wouldn't it be cool if in the future your cards not only lit up but you could also talk to them.

Like plug them into a port on your laptop someday to choose voice type personality settings?

You could ask it questions and it would answer instead of you having to look at your statement.

The card could be like cell connected to its bank servers all the time for the AI maybe?

I think everyone would go crazy for those kinds of cards.  

 

I want it.  

 

 

[Cyberspirit]

Honestly? I'd buy that.

Prepaid debit is one of the most predatory financial schemes out there. Your money isn’t insured on them for a reason.

 

Get a checking account with a debit card, simple.

It's the color of the Razer logo. Not being RGB is fine.

Most people pay with their phones. I never even carry a card. This comes a little late.

So it's a visa with a 1% cash back...

 

It doesn't go into detail what other "Razer gaming" rewards are, and it's limitation to Singapore make this a hard sell.

Why did I think Razer made a graphics card while reading the title?

 

 

[StDragon]

Will it flash red on and off (rapidly) to indicate a missed payment?

[Quader199]

Pretty much the same thing Apple is doing with their credit cards

 

[DoctorNick]

Sure this will attract the opposite sex! Especially those born in Mordor.
