CSP Metal...

[Anonymous]

I got a comment the first time I used my CSP. I actually saw the woman in front of me using one, then when I was paying the cashier asked me "What's with this card? You're like the 6th person to use one this morning." I was like O boy, I'm gonna get a comment every time I use it, but I have not gotten a comment since. I think the card is pretty popular around here.

The construction of the CSP is a very common topic here and it's mentioned in many threads that it's metal sandwiched with plastic.  Just a few examples:

You might want to be a bit more careful with research and make sure you validate & corroborate in the future.

Hopefully you considered all the other aspects of the card and how well they suited you as well...

It's a nice card, but my next vacation is going to be even better with an extra 40k UR points(aka $500 in travel!)
Lol I wasn't expecting a 100% metal card though lol

You called and asked for them to change the 3k spend to 2k?

Any CLI requests will be HP.  Rarely, if anything, folks may get a CLI via SP...key word being 'rarely'.

Yep I asked them when activate my card and she said she will put a note on my account.

I'm already half way to 3k but I didn't realize you could call and request that. I wonder if they will honor it.....is it waiting to be approved?

They said they would honor it but who know !??

LOL I was a Subway the other day, and the girl was having a hard time swiping my CSP... haha

But yeah, I agree that CSP being a metal shouldn't be the only reason one apps for it, but we have our own likes/dislikes.
