Just got mine. Seems likje a hard plastic rather than metal. Has it been changed or do I not realizt it is metal?
So lucky....
Is it heavy?
Does it sound different when you tap it against a table?
Metal it is!
mine is definitely metal. Does your card have a "Preferred" on it?

Yes it says preferred.
So the front and back are plastic and there is metal in the center?
ok, sounds like my wife does the dishes tonight she said it wasn't metal

Mine is not plastic at all. It is all metal. Its not as heavy a metal as a Ritz or Palladium, but not plastic either. It feels different. And the numbers and card information are printed differently. Chase did it for aesthetic reasons. There would be no point to putting metal on the inside of a plastic card.
I do not know, however, if new cards are being issued in plastic. I doubt it. It has been metal for years.
I know my marriot card isn't entirely metal. It's what they refer to as a "metal core." It's heavier than any of my other cards, but it doesn't get cold like metal does, and doesn't make any exceptional sound when knocked against a table, or even metal. Makes the same sound as everything else.

CSP is offered in plastic version (numbers embossed) with or without EMV, as well as the "metalish" version (with or without EMV). I have both plastic and metal.
