MINI credit card

Hey...I know some of you GP'ers also have the MINI credit card but have not been able to get the GP image on your card while all other GP models & colors are available. As it turns out the GP image is not an option although no one at MINI knew that until the past six calls I made. I FINALLY got to a gal who knows who to talk to to get the GP made available. She said it will take some time but eventually it will happen and she will let me know. THANKS DAWN from MINI USA!!

I'll let you know when I hear something!

As an example of how slow they are to add visual options to the card... despite my numerous requests ever since the card was first available, some OEM wheels are still not available on the card.

In my case, the R95 JCW wheels. They were even listed on the MINIUSA configurator, so that alone should have given them enough "official" status to make it on the credit card... even though they were part of the configurator's Step 5 "dealer options".

So that's what happened to my card. I even called and they were going to try and fix it. I just told them never mind.

I called the c/c # to get the online billing info/payment. At this time (Sept.) I asked about the GP on my MINI card the guy said " yes It can be done .."
" Are you sure?" " Yes What color?" Now, I should have known better that if he had to ask the colour of the GP he had no idea what he was talking about... but I went along and said " Thunder blue" "Yes, I have it"
I clearified " It's not cool blue, electric blue, indi blue it's THUNDER BLUE" and the moron "Yes, thunder blue" to make the long story short I received another MINI card (I already have one w/ my MCSC) a couple of months later .. the new card had the MINI wings...
