Maybe it's just me

But do normal plastic credit cards feel cheap after you've had a card like the CSP that is metal and all fancy?

Yeah...I just got my Freedom today, and it actually looks pretty nice (maybe the Signature looks fancier than the non-Sig?)...but it is plastic so it's kind of meh feeling.  Same goes for the BCP, but it is kind of cool that the BCP is largely transparent.  I just wish I could count my Freedom spending toward my CSP for the signing bonus esp. since Freedom is 5% restaurants til the end of the month.  Oh well I should be able to eek it out.

I pay $100+ a month just for public transit fare, which thankfully is covered by CSP's travel category.

 

It takes the sting out of a necessary expense, even if only a little. Smiley Sad
