This is another reason why I hate metal cards. Bring back the plastic!
I like metal cards because metal is infinitely recyclable. Though I guess you'd also need to factor in the environmental cost of having to mail it back for secure disposal in many cases.

I don't know how cleanly the metal in cards can be recycled, given plastic coatings and glued-in or otherwise embedded EMV chips.
Funny story...Swipe a magnet where the strip is. This will erase everyting. I had a 911 call at a MRI office years ago. Walked in and then all my cards in my wallet were rendered usless before chips days later.
Since my card was canceled and a new card and number issued the risk of misuse is misicule. I do wonder though what one would do when you receive a new card with the same number but new expiration date.
I am not sure how recyclable these cards are. I don't know what the exact metal is and neither would my recycle company. My guess is that it would end up in a landfill for generations along with plastic c ards. My guess is that turning it into a branch would really just result in it being thrown out with the trash.
Has anyone received a return envelop from Chase upon receiving a new metal card?
Hole punch one corner of the card, use a key ring and/or in combo with a zip tie through the hole and attach to your luggage. Now you have a customized luggage tag! PS. don't forget to demagnitize the strip, you can use a standard fridge magnet but do it several times a good scrape on the strip will do the trick as well... myFICO hacks
