I have a metal Schwab.

I'll admit to requesting one out of vanity, but I do use the perks.

They all are expect the old Fidelity Amex Platinum Cards that are no longer offered to new clients.

Nothing against the OP here, so please don't take this as a personal attack, but it's very surprising to me how many people put so much stock in the material that their card is made out of.

@BrutalBodyShots I definitely love the look and feel of my metal CSR, and the new metal Amex Platinum cards are even better in my opinion.

While I would never get a credit card for appearance, I definitely understand people's love for the metal card. It feels nice in the hand and there's just something satisfying about the clunk it makes off the table.

Agreed. It made me laugh in Japan when the convenience store clerk dropped my Ritz card and was in shock when it made the loud metallic clang sound as it hit the floor.

It's the little things in life...
