Re: compliments given when using CSP !?

Going through the airport in Asheville NC the TSA person saw the metal cards in my wallet on the xray thing and said "You got that Amex Black dont'che?"

 

She did see my first class ticket(thanks Ritz Carlton card) so maybe thats why she said something. 

 

Its always fun pulling the ritz out.

Re: compliments given when using CSP !?

My first transaction with a CSP was the one that was noticed, and I haven't had anyone say anything since. I think they're fairly common at this point.

I live in OC (Irvine) and when I use it at fancy restaurants, I still get some comments about the weight of the card now and then. But I would say the CSP is much more common now..

One time I was using my CSP and the girl at the register told me my hair looked nice...

I have no hair to get compliments for, but a pizza guy said it was a cool card. ;-)

Re: compliments given when using CSP !?

Nothing at all... and in Europe there are not many cards that are that heavy. CSP does not get any kind of attention, sometimes I get compliments on Marriott but on the other hand with Discover IT Daisy Gerbera and New York designs  I get compliments all the time on my  "nice looking card"  Smiley Happy

Re: compliments given when using CSP !?

i can relate to the better service at bars, the ritz will definetly get you quicker drinks. Sad part is, since the service is so much better then you have to tip them more Smiley Sad usualy tip the bar tendes 20-60 depending on the amount of drinks and service.
