My credit union cards still have the old-style credit card number on the front (but no raised digits for the ker-chunk machine). My Chase card has the numbers in small type on the back in a non-contrasty color. It's not possible to read in non-ideal lighting conditions.

What I like about those is that you can stack more cards in the same space.

And the embossed cards tend to have their ink rub off anyway.

But I rarely take either card out of my wallet. I use Apple Pay almost everywhere.
