Hi;
I too had the same braille credit card. Unfortunately a t & t decided it
wasn't worth their while to braille them any more. If I didn't have the
silly number thoroughly memorized I'd have cancelled the card just because
they discontinued the braille.

I always wondered why credit cards have raised numbers still? The =
machines
that a credit card goes through these days uses the magnetic strip on =
the
back instead of an imprint of the actual numbers.
some credit card companies will put the holders name in raised letters =
as
well, which is another question mark.
Why not implement small braille on the card, at least to indicate type =
or
bank or something.
An M, or V or an AE would suffice just fine.
I also wonder if a person were to emboss their own braille simbol on =
the
card if it would void its use?
