ZYNC!

I got this in the mail two days ago and had to share!

WTF? Did they run out of precious metals? The gold card is the O.G. of prestigious and exclusive sounding credit cards to carry. Then came the platinum and platinum plus cards. I have a "Diamond Preferred" card. All of them sound valuable, rich, and important (and there was a time when they weren't handing them out to just anyone with decent credit).
Let's play a game of which one of these does not belong.

**Remember those old commercials from a time when not everyone could have a gold or platinum card, where the rich looking guy would hand a clerk his credit card and announce to the whole establishment what kind of card he is carrying?**

Overheard in a restaurant:
"Put it on my gold card." 

"Put it on my platinum card."
"Put it on my diamond preferred." 
"Put it on my zync." <-------------- THIS IS THE ONE THAT DOES NOT BELONG!

Zinc is the bitch of the metal family. It's a vitamin supplement, not a credit card. And what is up with American Express taking liberties with the spelling?
