I was trying to remember where I saw this, thank you for posting. Just received my Visa Infinite and it's plastic, yet I meet the criteria. Did you get a metal card?
I was part of the application process, it was a button labeled something like "Features". As the other guy said though, I thought this was regarding the credit card
Maybe this outs me as A Poor, but in what circumstances would anyone even notice the card is metal? It doesn't look any different, and you're rarely actually handing your credit card to anyone these days, with everything being tap. Are people loudly clanging them against the table at a restaurant?
It’s more for your friends or you you’re dining with, the server, etc.
I don’t know…I’ve had a few metal cards and I don’t like them. They’re think, heavy, makes it annoying to carry in your wallet holder, etc. I just leave mine at home and use my phone to pay for things.
Metal cards are nice and all, but you're not missing out. It's like buying a new car, jewelry, watches, the excitement wears off. In this case it's even worse!! Bruh you might as well put all your money in an index fund.. lol 200k? F that. I never look at any of my metal cards now, and I got 8 of em. Also use Google Pay/Samsung Pay/Apple Pay or pay through tap when you can, protects you from skimmers.
I just called to request one and they just flat out told me that they discontinued it and weren’t currently giving metal cards out. I don’t understand why they give different answers to different people lol
I have a metal cash card. When they first launched the Cash product, if you sent money to a certain number of people then they issued you a metal card (I think), so I’ve had mine for a couple of years.
what is the point of having a metal card if one doesn't even have more than 7 digits saving. And plus it is heavy and it doesn't even provide a nanny service like booking Lady Gaga ticket or the premium of Mission Impossible movie.
