Good point, another good example of substitution vs conversion.

Credit cards have to be a standard size or they won't fit into various machines 
and wallets. I measured a few, and they averaged 85.52 mm by 54.20 mm, with a 
width times height area of 4635 mm².  That's less than the 4800 mm² claimed by 
Wells Fargo, and my measurement doesn't take the rounded corners into account, 
which reduces the area further.  It sounds like they may already be 
exaggerating the size of their credit card.

Very cool, too bad they can't make it slightly bigger and call it 50 cm2
