I love the way my card feels...what is your card made of?

I have a little over 11 cards...and my Marriott card is made out of some sort a material that feels like metal or aluminum. ..it feels great pulling it out to pay for things. I wish my Citi double cash card felt like that. What are some other  cards made of?

Re: I love the way my card feels...what is your card made of?

The Marriot along with CSP, Palladium, Ritz Carlton have/or are made of a metal/metal core. Personally when i first got my CSP it was nice, but now its just an ordinary card to me. It doesn't feel any heavier since i am used to it and i just use whatever card i can earn more points on or utilize more.

Mission Lane - 4k (11/21)
Venmo - 900 (11/21)
SavorOne - 2500 (12/21)

I agree 100% I can barely feel the difference between my CSP and any other card. Although, I look forward to my Ritz showing up to see how that one feels.

The CSP is the 'nicest' card I have as far as feel. I was and still am quite disappointed in the Amex Platinum card. It's a shiny silver, but that's about it. Still a normal plastic card, feels cheap.

The Chase cards arent the same:

 

Marriott=CSP=United Explorer-------->Ritz Carlton---------->Palladium

 

And this thread will eventually get moved to Smorgasbord forum

I presume that it's actually the United Club card. My United Explorer is one of the flimsiest plastic cards that I have.

Is the united club card made of a metal core too? If so I didn't know that.
