Really? I hardly think what the card is made of is any indicator of the benefits it might provide. This isn't just directed at you but this forum obsession with metal cards is ridiculous at times. They aren't anything special. In case you're not aware, neither the Prestige or Platinum cards are metal either.
I remember a few months ago the frenzy of people calling Cap 1 EO or submitting requests for new Venture cards until they got the metal one. Hell,there was a post recently about a guy inquiring about metal cards to help his wife's career of impressing clients lol.
Oh the vanity of it all......
I love when a new card may comes to market and the forums blow-up with expectations then apps. But because this is a Chase card, apps will be limited and the forums will bemoan the heartache of the 5/24 rule. Can't wait!

Look at my signature, one card every 6 month, apply on Feb and Aug for the past 2 years.
This CSE is right on schedule, was hesitate on applying for Prestige, not after major devaluation from Citi.

To be fair, there is a very legitimate place for 'vanity' in regards to impressing clients. Impressions unfortunately do matter in this world (more for some people and walks of life than others, of course) so some people will go to very great lengths to impress their success, wealth, etc when necessary to be successful.
Realtors should drive expensive cars, wear expensive clothing, and smell like money if they expect to be successful selling multi-million dollar homes to the wealthy, for example.
I have found in my own workplace that simply switching from (new and nice) jeans and superhero t-shirts to khaki slacks and a button-up has drastically changed the way people treat me, and even opened doors for unexpected promotions. As lame as it is, vanity does indeed matter.
Huh? A metal credit card would matter? Very highly unlikely, most are plastic! Warren Buffett uses Amex Green, BTW.

You may not personally think it matters, but do a quick search on here about all the "compliments" people get on their metal cards.
I can't tell you how many cashiers / waiters / etc have complimented my CSP. You may not care, but some people definitely do.
Good to know, I traded my CSP for FU, I'd rather have the 1.5 UR points than a metal card. Cashiers and waiters aren't clients so I don't need to impress them. Also, my clients don't hold my card before I give it to the waite staff or bartenders, lol!
