Marriott Credit Card Metal

Anonymous · ‎09-10-2013

Finally got my new Marriott Metal Card! Was trying to show it off to someone and they said the Ritz Carlton is even more metal? Is the Marriott the same material as the RItz card?

They're made of completely different materials. The Marriott card is made via the same process as the CSP and UA Club, all of which feel like cheap toys compared to the JPM cards.

Apparently, the Ritz-Carlton and Palladium cards are more than twice as heavy as the Marriot/United Club/CSP cards.

Wow, even the Marriott EMV metal card is the same as the Sapphire PReferred? Somehow I thought all Chase's EMV metal cards were the same. Guess I was wrong.

I would love to see the Ritz card, can't afford it though. Hopefully I run into someone who has it...

Chase's metal cards are the same in this respect, however cards offered under the JPM brand are different.
