So I was pleasantly surprised by my recent order of the "greenery" card since it arrived as a smooth green metallic when I thought it was a flat lime green. So I thought I'd ask.... does anyone know what other designs are smooth and metallic?
Sticking primarily to the "standard" designs for this discussion, I've obtained the gold, greenery, ocean, and garnet cards. The gold is smooth and metallic but the ocean and garnet are not smooth (kind of have ridges). Based on the photos, most of the other colors (spruce, plum, blue, etc.) look like they are "ridged" and not a smooth design. The only solid color designs that appear to be smooth are rose quartz, ruby, greenery, gold and iridescent. I just ordered a ruby card to see if it comes as smooth and metallic.
I chatted with Discover and the agent only had access to the website photos, so they couldn't really answer my question. The only thing they mentioned was that they had the rose quartz but they said, while smooth, it wasn't metallic. Has anyone else tried a bunch of the standard cards and/or knows which ones are smooth and metallic?

to be honest, i applied for this card like 2-3 am while in bed and on my cell phone.
when it was time to choose the design, it did not have the design name listed under the photos and since while i was half asleep and in the dark, the plum looked black to me.
i was pretty suprised when it arrived and it was not black haha
it isn't a smooth finish. you can feel "riggedness" on it.
almost like a flat matte
Ya, I figure the ones that don't quite look solid in their picture are ridged/textured, and the plum was one of them.
It looks like my new thread was merged with this one so I'll read back to 2018 and see if anyone talked about metallic ones.
I've always liked Disco's card designs and have contemplated app'ing for it for that reason alone!

That's a bummer.... thanks for the info. I would have thought it was smooth.

For me, this is the card that I want just for the design. So sexy. #dontjudgeme so funny how we treat our cards based on the design. i know for me, i tend to use the old raised number cards less. so bulky and just seem so old fashioned now.
