@Laugh:

CSP is available in BOTH metal and plastic.  It is issued as a standard a metal card; however, individuals can also request a plastic version of the card if they prefer.

The numbers are raised on my CSP also

When you apply for CSP, do they ask if you want it in plastic or metal?

[E150GT]

no. They just send the metal.

I heard that CSP and United Mileage Club cards are metal and don't have raised numbers unlike the traditional plastic cards. If a credit card terminal is offline, can an imprinting machine take these card. Can an ATM take these cards? And once it reaches its expiration date, how do you cut it in half? Just curious as I don't have one yet.

Typically when a credit card terminal is offline, at most major retailers we use the phone to finish the transaction, by simply punching in the account number, account expiration, CVV2, and purchase amount. Then, for the computer to spit out a receipt, a confirmation code is given, and the system registers it as paid.

I believe my store in particular ended the "imprinting" about two or three years ago, simply because CC and debit card issuers began printing non-embossed cards. Everything goes through electronically, therefore our registers have no need to print a slip to imprint the card. The CVV2 is good enough! This method is also used when the magnetic card won't swipe. Previously, we had to input the card # and expiration, and then imprint. Now, instead of imprinting, we input the CVV2.

It's always been my goal to have a metal card.. it simply makes a statement. Anybody out there that could tell me all of the cards that are actually obtainable, that are metal... you know, not the amex haha.

The "unobtainable" ones (for the average person):

JP Morgan Palladium

Not sure how accurate my CSR was but when I called to request a plastic version for travel purposes, she said they do not offer a plastic version.
