I'm no design or UX expert and this does look smooth.
However, how does this stack up against the recent UX trend of moving away from skeumorphism? Why should a CC number be represented by an actual plastic card that is coming to life and flipping around on my screen?
I believe the future of plastic credit cards is limited given the security loop holes etc. Companies like Square, Google, etc. are already championing transferring money over native internet identities like email addresses.
I think that assessment is fair. Consider though that many users struggle with matching the data they have on the card with what goes on the form. Specifically the cvv code since some vendors use a 4 digit code instead of the more mainline 3 digit code. So I see a valid use case in here in presenting them a reasonable facsimile of whats in their hand to match up.
