Lol dwl Ashton where u hear this nuts from. I currently have one for the past year now never have issue at atm not once. The only problems I have it with the wrong bank lol hints why I’m begging Monzo to have one so I can transfer all my business and salary to Monzo account
And then half the people on here will tell you that the card lives in a drawer and they only ever use contactless.

I’ve had a few metal cards in the past. This never happened. Metal cards with plastic backs for contactless eventually start coming apart though, which may cause problems, but I replaces them at that point.
The Amex black gets stuck in atms so I assumed it’ll be the same due to it having 0 flex
I guess we’re all entitled to have different priorities.
I actually have a metal Amex card. Never asked for it, don’t pay for it and have never used it, though I will admit that it looks pretty nice.
How? Their platinum card is £500+ per year
A LOT of companies give them to employees for expenses
The lowest tier Amex offer a metal card with is the Platinum credit card. That used to be £550 a year, and I believe that went up when they introduced the metal card. You absolutely are paying for it.
£200 for a nicely designed object that I’d carry everywhere isn’t a big deal.
Actually, I’m really not. It was made available to me as a supplementary card holder, and the main account holder didn’t have to pay extra for me to get it.
Ok, so technicalities aside, the card is being paid for.

Sure, but my point (and this was also my original point) is that although it’s a nice card, I don’t use it (since I use Apple Pay) and I wouldn’t have paid more then £20-30 for the privilege of having it.
Sure, you carry it around in your pocket but you don’t see it or handle it most of the time. I doubt 99% of the population have more than 10 transactions a day. 10 seconds per transaction that’s 1.5 minutes
Whereas £200 gets you a nicely designed Apple Watch to carry with you everywhere or a one night getaway to the countryside both of which are objectively far better value

Honestly, 99% of my transactions are Apple Pay anyway, so it would probably barely get any use.
I want a metal card for the same reason I want a nice leather wallet vs fabric, or to your example, the same reason I wear a stainless steel Apple Watch vs aluminium.
I’m happy to pay more for nicer materials that I find more satisfying. The value of the object is as much a part of my value calculation as the functionality.

I still really don’t get it.
A leather wallet you touch and use more than a single card in it. An Apple Watch is on your wrist all day. So for both of these, spending the money for extra quality makes sense. Wanting to pay £200 for a metal card that you wouldn’t even use is just beyond me though
