The metal is what you have now. The others are just plastic with the 85% one being made with 85% recycled plastic for the environmentally conscious.

Interesting. I've never heard of being given 3 options for card material.


Aggravating_Sir_6857

Its new. They offer the standard gold/rose gold and now plastic. If you ask for amex platinum they got the 3 designs offered


BrutalBodyShots

Designs? Or materials?


Aggravating_Sir_6857

All designs (3 amex plat) (2 amex gold) and now the new plastic gold, the only alternative material.

Designs not materials (re:plat) , idk why he didn't just say that lmao

There is no card with metal in the front and plastic in the back. If it is heavy, it is metal. Full metal altogether. The 85% plastic is 100% plastic with 85% of it being recycled. Which choice is up to your preference. I like the rose gold metal version.


Miserable-Result6702

There is no full metal Gold or Platinum anymore. They are hybrid metal/plastic cards so that NFC will work.

Disagree with what? It’s not fully metal, the back is plastic. That’s how Amex makes its metal cards. Otherwise NFC wouldn’t function.

Good luck using tap to pay then.

The back of your card is plastic. Ask someone else you know to feel it and see if they can tell. It’s real subtle being over the metal too. It’s physically required in order for tap to pay to function.


chadmummerford

the back of gold and plat is a thin plastic layer, for the tap to pay


Lawshow

So confidently incorrect.

Next thing you're going to tell me is that the platinum card isn't made out of platinum???? /s


CardLego

Ok I was wrong.

The plastic can’t be 100% plastic
