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 don't think the CSP is all metal.  Look at the edge and you can see metal sandwiched between a cover.  And the feel of the front and the back, that isn't metal.

Exactly... "metalish" to some degree but not like the JPM Ritz or others that are pure metal.

Yes, I just went and got my wallet to feel it.  There is a layer that the graphics and print it on, but it still doesn't feel the same as a plastic card.  Maybe I am wrong, but, even without judging by the weight or rigidity, my plastic cards don't feel like the CSP, just running my finger across it.

Its not really plastic per say. Its just like a thin layer of some weird material. Its hard to explain but you can feel a difference between al plastic cards, csp and a real all metal card

It's metal sandwiched between 2 layers of blue plastic. Check the card from the side. Silver = metal, blue = plastic.

Still a really nice card imo

Definitely a nice card. It's almost as though they paint the metal with a layer of this matte finish stuff.

Chase CSR confirmed the card is metal.
