Why metal cards are popular
 

Metal credit cards offer durability, exclusivity, and enhanced benefits that plastic cards don’t. They allow a superior experience, be it the physical feel of the card or the extensive perks and rewards that come with it, making them the best choice for those pursuing a life of luxury and prestige.

What metal cards offer
 

Metal credit cards come in two distinguished forms: embedded metal and veneer metal. Embedded metal cards feature a metal layer within a traditional plastic base, offering a refined touch and enhanced durability. Veneer metal cards are crafted from metals like stainless steel.

Metal credit card benefits
 

Metal credit card benefits range from exclusive reward points, new experiences, a luxury life, and more -

  • Premium feel and design - Metal credit cards are often heavier and more stylish than plastic cards, providing a sense of exclusivity.
  • Durability - They are more durable than plastic cards and resistant to bending, breaking, and general wear and tear. 
  • Exclusive benefits - Premium credit cards often come with a host of benefits that are not available with plastic cards. These include airport lounge access, roadside assistance, travel insurance, lifestyle privileges, and more, providing cardholders with a luxury life and exclusive experiences.
  • Higher credit limits - Metal cards are frequently associated with higher credit limits, allowing more spending power.
  • Prestigious rewards and perks - You earn more lucrative rewards and perks compared to plastic cards. This could include higher points on purchases, exclusive discounts, etc.
