Trading Card Code Speculation!

So for these [currently] 17 codes floating about, nobody knows what we will receive for entering them. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, [url=http://www.vg247.com/2014/03/03/destiny-trading-cards-could-grant-in-game-content-get-all-the-codes-inside/]click here[/url]. I think a common thought is that we'll see something like extra glimmer or a weapon. And it's possible. But I had another thought. I'm not saying it's any more likely than any other possibility, but it's just one that I haven't seen anybody think of before. Borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 has something called 'Bassass Points.' These points let you level up your PROFILE, rather than your individual character, with permanent upgrades that affect all current and future characters. They involve small firerate bonuses, reload speed, etc. But very miniscule amounts- like .3% increases at a time. What if these codes involve something like this? Now, I'm talking more about the profile upgrade rather than things like reload speed. But what if, say, the names of the trading cards were relevant? The Hive card gives you a 5% damage boost against the Hive. Maybe the Duke MK.44 code actually is what makes it POSSIBLE for that weapon to drop from a boss! The Tower? 5% discount on items. Old Russia? Maybe an increased drop rate there. Basically, my idea is that these codes might have some sort of relevance to the name of their card, and it could be profile-based rather than character based. It's just a thought I haven't seen people talk about. Not that it's more probable than any other theory- it's pure speculation and no fact behind it. But yeah- discuss your thoughts!

    It does remind me of Borderlands 2 as well. Borderlands 2 had Shift codes which would grant golden keys to use on characters to get weapons, also certain shift codes unlocked weapons and customization option for the vault hunters. Bungie may be doing something similar as well. These trading cards could be used to unlock ingame items for customization or could be used to unlock gamerpics on the site or they could be used like Steam trading cards. Hard to tell, though I hope that they look kinda cool.
