CSP downgrade question

[DigitalArk]

What's so special about a card being metal? It's heavier in wallet. CSP did not make a big impression on me when I received it.

+1.

I don't see what's the big deal about metal cards either.

It makes my wallet unncessarily thick, which I hate.

I'm using cards over cash only because it's more convenient and makes my wallet thinner, and these metal cards are making it thick again 

The CSP card seems pretty somewhat normal. None of the places I use it at seem to care much about it at all, probably because a lot of people in LA has it.

The Ritz card is substantially heavier and thicker, and several times people were surprised about it, but to me it's just bothersome.

I've had many comments about my CSP card. Everything from "wow, that's heavy" to "is that one of those super elite cards" to "you must be rich". 

Regardless of the facts, people assume heavy cards = more prestigious cards. Hence why Chase did it with the CSP. 

Personally, I like my metal card, even though I know it's just a standard one, albeit one of the better cards out there.

Same here. Wasn't impressed when I had that card.

Absolutely nothing. Some people actually think it matters if some minimum wage cashier thinks they are elite for having a metal card. I live in a area where metal cards are not common so I get the occasional comment about my CSP and I hate it.
