Re: Anyone else surprised by how cheap-feeling the Freedom is?

My Freedom and IT card feel about the same, twice as sturdy as any of my other cards in signature and they feel thicker too. (harder to bend, feel thicker, feel heavier)  (although I dont believe they are)

 

My QS1 is the cheapest flimsiest of all my plastic cards.  All the other cards are what you would expect.

*edit*

The freedom has the little chip in it.

My Freedom is a Signature with chip and it feels sturdy, the QS on the other hand is embarrassingly cheap and thin.

Shed a flashlight onto it and you'll be amazed by how the blue finish reflects light.

Yeah my QS is very flimsy, but if you can believe it my new Freedom is worse lol. I think others here are right, maybe a bad batch...

It's definitely from a bad batch. My quicksilver looks like a piece of cardboard.

My Chase Freedom VS is as solid as the Barclays Sallie Mae and it looks great with the new reflections.
