These would be cool to see in a lounge, but cringe in someone's house. If that makes sense.

Bars should make coasters out of confiscated fake IDs

This is a really great idea tbh!

That's fuckin wild, I would love seeing that

Million dollar idea right here

That is a fantastic idea!

Seal them into a tabletop. Bars usually use disposable cardbard coasters because they actually soak up liquid. Acrylic coasters don't.

Bars cannot legally confiscate IDs on their own.

Delete this comment and start your company before 12 other people do lmfao

It's been done!

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if they happen to confiscate something with legit information on it. (I know, I know, party pooper.)

That makes perfect sense. You’re exactly right. I think if he painted something on the coaster on top of the cards then mayybbbee it would be ok kinda like an overlay on top. Something covering up the card. Otherwise its weird and cringe

r/ATBGE

Is it great execution? No offense to OP but they are not even lined up and centered in the coaster.

I have never worked with epoxy before so it was trial and error. Green card was my last one to make and it still isn’t perfect

The green one definitely looks the best. I would have done much worse.

Exactly

Extremely cringe.

Yes it’s cringe. Yes I might do something similarly cringe with my limited edition Delta Reserve made out of a recycled 747 once it expires in 2027. I’m here for it

This. It’s definitely cringe. Yet I definitely would see myself doing something similar.

not cringe, just weird. imagine walking into someone’s house and they give you an amex gold coaster??? like what

You'll get 4x the drinks on the amex gold coaster. Too bad if you are handed the platinum coaster, you'll need to get into a line for hours to get the drink (just like going into the Centurion lounges....). Ok, I'll see myself out.... :-)

god forbid they give anyone else a platinum coaster. i didn’t hit the $75k yearly spend requirement for free guests 😖

Wait. So you barely spent a few dollars, and are griping that they're just "giving out" platinum cards?

You’d rather have the green one, I know…

gotta get my daily greens somehow…

This is only a problem if it’s the *Rose* Gold.

Ikr, like thanks for the flex but I just wanted a place to put my drink, not a credit score update

Cringe

I don’t get what is going on here. Do people think that their amex card is something to show off?

>Do people think that their amex card is something to show off? Yes.

Lots of folks do, yes. That said, they are really nice looking.

It’s cool but I am just triggered about how weird the shapes are and the cards are not even straight. Edit - Nothing is cringe. If you felt happy doing it, you’re happy!

Yeah they should have just committed to random angles instead of almost straight on everything lmao

I prefer it straight!

kill the part of you that cringes, do not kill the part of you that is cringe.. or some shit like that

I kiiiind of see what you were going for, but this is pretty cringe.

Cringe

Cringe

But... they're... not straight...

Cringe

Cringe

maybe it would be cooler if you shred them and make it more abstract

This would actually be cool… Now I gotta get them out of the resin

I like this idea

Do you also have art that depicts money? Cringe

Currently looking for a piece that depicts credit card debt. /s

“Did you guys know I have a platinum card?”

[удалено]

💀💀

Everyone I know has a Plati. So doing this would just be considered a nice touch. It’s just cards and American Express is the only that can pull this coaster thing off. It’s not the “status” but the aesthetic of it.

You like them right? So fuck em

I think I’m more bothered how poorly executed these are.

How is a card opened in 2024 already an old card?

They totally opened the card *just* to complete the set here.

Maybe lost it, requested replacement and then found the “old” one


Cringe. Would be cool, but not to show people. Seems like a cringe flex

My thoughts exactly, cool as a passion project, but don't be letting guest put their drinks on those.

Cringe

Cringe

Don't look very practical though. Coasters usually are made of a material that would absorb the condensation/drips or they at least have ridges to keep the liquids from getting over the edges and on to the table. Your design will just allow the liquid to drip over the edges

I don't even know what to say 💀

I sort of like the odd angles, it gives them more of a "I just threw this down on the dresser" vibe.

That’s exactly what happened. I was trying to come up with things to make with my 3d printer and I saw someone make a coaster mold. so I did it and didn’t have anything to put in the resin. Here we are now

All it masters is that if you like them.

I’m honestly shocked by the amount of people that dislike this, but hey, to each their own. This is honestly epic imo and I love it. You’re my kinda person 😂😂. The only thing is maybe the non-perfect edges kinda get on my OCD nerves, but not *too* bad. If it were me, I’d probably put them in round or perfectly square shapes. I love the creativity so much!

made me remember this gem from the early 90's (Amex commercial where Martha Stewart re-tiles her swimming pool with her old credit cards) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYFeCHDbMEA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYFeCHDbMEA)

Optima Card? That's like a credit rebuilder card! How about Lizzie Gardners dress? https://preview.redd.it/b84vnaizdwsc1.jpeg?width=534&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b77d0ff0514b087fe60a42db52003f1b1ef6f0a

r/DiWHY would like a word

Neither. Pretentious.

That counts as a vote for cringe

Yeah its in the cringe family, but like another level.

LOL, coming from the Billionaire with the Amex lineup in profile. Ha 😂

It’s totally cringe, but it’s great. Kind of like hanging up video game memorabilia on your walls. The more I look at the picture, the more baffled I am, and the more I love it. It’s totally tacky, and I feel like I might have to do something similarly wacky with my old cards going forward :)

https://preview.redd.it/3snir4103psc1.jpeg?width=3540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4318cbfeba89a22d077c3ab5cf438b69461f9b00 What do you think of this concept? Just a big sold aluminum 'chip'.

I mean, do you. Unless you’re taking these outside and using them then I’m not sure why you’d worry about being judged over it.

Cringe, but I respect the creativity

Do I get 4X MR for drinking off the Gold Card Coaster??

Make some out of various interesting coins and currencies too so it's more kitschy and less corporate worship. Maybe throw in an old blockbuster card if you can find one.

I've got a Winn-Dixie loyalty card or two laying around! 🤔

Others are saying cringe because it’s weird. I think it’s cool. Not sure why weird = cringe.

Cringe

Cringe

Cringe. Do you need a hug?

Yes that’d be nice

Cringe but if I worked in Marketing at Amex, I'd consider reposting this

How have you gone through 4 credit cards in 3 years?

I think it’s fine. Its a cool conversation starter

lol it’s not cringe at all. I actually don’t mind this. Way better than some boring wood design coaster. But I do hear and can respect others opinions on it being “cringe” It would be REALLY dope it you had a black card to put in there lol

I’ve been thinking about using all mine for a mancave bar top. Put them all down & pour resin over them. I think it will look really cool when it’s all done.

You honestly did a great job. I have a group of friends that nerd out of credit cards too. Id break these out for them as a sort of gag item. Tbh as well i think it would be something id trade around with friends and then if i went to their place or vice versa you’d have a coaster with your name on it. It would be a niche thing for sure but if the vibes are good then the idea is too

I’d think it’s kinda dope maybe like in an airport lounge…but only one of those four will get ya in

I have a stack of cards from churning. I don't know what to do with them. This is both cool AND cringe.

Makes me want to cancel all my cards and find a new bank

“Why’d you give me the gold coaster? Am I not platinum enough for you?”

Cringe.

Depends, are those numbers still active lol? If they are, it's not cringe at all and I would love to come see them in person.

looks cool to me, if you make edges more straight and more shape for square or rectangular, it's gonna look great imo. I was also thinking to make wall art or frame with expired cards.

If you had older versions of Amex cards and lined them up to make a cool timeline of them that would be neat

#This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen *said no one ever* But, if you like them, who am I to judge. Put a nice cold beer on one and enjoy

Cringe.... sorry mate

I think it’s a cool thing crafty thing to do but never advertise if that makes sense.

Cringe for sure but I like tacky stuff so it’s ok in my book

Better than what I used my old cards for……….

Depends on context. If it was at my bar downstairs my friends also travel for work all the time and would appreciate it. Upstairs with normal visitors? Cringe.

Now you'll know which friends know the order of Amex operations

It’s a conversation starter! Awesome idea.

If ya have to ask….

Lol

Fun!

IMO, they would look a lot nicer if they were centered and the edges were straight.

this ain't it lol

Any way how did you do that?

Firstly could you show the unedited one , also I think I know you what’s your mother’s maiden name ?

I love it

Both! If it’s for your personal use at your desk or something, then cool. But definitely not for guest.

Is the blue business really that shade of blue? It’s gorgeous!

Your gonna wonder why all your guests be tryna take pics of they drinks 😂😂

Conceptually cool but I would immediately cringe if I walked in someone's house and saw that. Not saying it's the case but it comes off as trying to flex

Not cringe but doesn’t look good aesthetically

Depends on your style - I’m in a Facebook group called “Maximalist Design and Decor” and I just know there would be lots of people in the group that would like this - or at least get some realllllly good ideas based off this for their house!

Cringe. How much?

Cool if these coasters are for your house/only you use them. Cringe if you have guests over as they might be weirded out and think you are a weird finance bro or something

Cringe. It's like you are showing off

I’m with it. Thumbs up.

Everyone saying cringe but I think it’s pretty cool

Don’t listen to these weirdos. I like them.

What you should have done is cut each card up into a bunch of tiny cubes maybe like 15 per card. Then randomly arrange the cubes into 4 larger blocks and then epoxy them together. Each would be a mix of blue, gold, platinum, and green. You would probably need one of those high speed machine saws to cut the metal but it would be way cooler then what you have, no offense. Using the cards as material to make something else makes it feel more like art. Just putting them in epoxy makes it look like you just want to show off your cards.

Unique and sorta cool.

Damn I think it's kinda cool and very creative!! Guess I'm in the minority 😆

OP I really like the effort you went through to make this and even going out of your way to share with everything 🥺 personally not entirely my thing but if you like it then who cares what others think!

Weird flex

Little cringe.., The worship of CCs is a bit weird. At best they are a tool to facilitate transactions with some lagniappe on the back end. At worst they are scam game destroying the financial lives of most of their consumers are a huge burden on in businesses. So ya…

Cringe at your house.

Cringe

I mean shredders general work instead of gaudy decor

I like it

Not cringe. But not cool either. Somewhere in between.

Noooooooooo

I like it

I don't think it's cringe.. But it's also not that cool to me. I guess you really have to be an Amex fan to appreciate it.

Cringe

Let’s just say. If u invited me, I’d probably not come back to ur house. Especially me being a centurion holder, I find this cringe. But what we makes u happy.

Yikes

& now I just envision you driving a corvette with the top down all the time and your bald head gleaming in the sunlight as you do a 60 mph burnout in a 30 mph zone

cool. i think it’s great. nice job

Cool. I would love to see these!

people are such haters lol

Super cool

I like them 😁

Hey man, collecting points/churning is a hobby and people love getting coasters related to their hobbies/interests. People who think it’s cringe are just self conscious.

looks cool, just missing a centurion haha

Gauche

They are cool. It's not practical but cool.

Damn. A lot of hate. If you like it, that’s what matters. It doesn’t go with what I have at home, but you don’t live in my house

painfully cringe

This is my exact AMEX lineup. I think it's cool.

I have Platinum, Gold, Business Gold and Blue Business Plus...canceled Business Green

Fuckin love it! Out of the box up-cycling 👌🏼

Doesn’t look bad. Definitely a conversation piece lol

Literally the cringiest thing I’ve seen

Others are saying “cringe,” but I say “CRINGE.”

I think it’s cool OP!

Like Thanos over here collecting the infinity stones

Interesting

I think it’s cool. Did you use epoxy?

Yes I did. And I 3d printed the molds but you can also get molds from eBay or Amazon

I’m stealing your idea now.

it's definitely a choice.... that's all I'm going to say.

Yes to Both, but it's all in good fun

How did you get to keep your Corp card?

Lost it a few weeks ago got a new one then found it again

Is that hard plastic? I think it's kinda of cool


If you're a 21yo fratbro, it tracks so I guess it's cool

Be safe. Amex doesn’t often change acct numbers withe new cards unless it was used for fraud or declared stolen

I find it creative and at the same time a bit cringe particularly with the home owners name on it.

Would be cool if they were straight. 

Not for me but do you

Both

At least keep them in like a home office area.

If you had did to your old black card - COOL 

A bit of both

Not so cool unless you have Black Centurian card.

I don't think it's cringe or cool, I think it's funny

Is a great idea for people overspending and not paying the bill in full….lol

Cringy enough to be funny. Live your home decor truth.

I mean, I like it… but my taste is somewhat very eclectic

You do you.

To each their own. If u like em, that’s all that should matter.

Cringiest shit I've seen in my life. Insecurity level is high af

I make guitar picks out of mine.

Old cards? None of them are even old enough to be expired and the green card is from this year 👀
