Metal credit cards aren't new, but they've become increasingly popular among credit cardholders because of their aesthetic appeal. What's more, you no longer have to be wealthy to get one — there are more and more metal cards with a low annual fee or no annual fee at all.
While having a metal credit card sounds cool and could feel like a status symbol, it's important to pick a card based on the total value you gain from all of its features. For example, there are metal credit cards with no annual fee and those that almost hit $1,000 a year. Plus each card offers different rewards and perks, whether travel, cash back, or things like travel protection and airport lounge access.
Here's what you need to know about metal credit cards and how to pick the right one.
How we evaluate products
To determine the best metal credit cards, we first compiled a list of metal credit cards available for consumers and business owners. Then, we identified the key features that can provide value in a metal credit card, including:
- Rewards rate
- Welcome bonus
- Lounge access
- Travel benefits
- Annual fee
- Airport lounge access
- Other valuable perks
It is important to note that we did not include all available options. This article is meant to serve as a starting point for further research. It's best to compare your options and do your own research before deciding on the metal credit card that best meets your needs.

I'd only recommend this card if you frequently fly Delta, as you can earn 3X miles per dollar spent on purchases made directly with Delta and at hotels; 2X miles per dollar spent at restaurants worldwide, plus takeout and delivery in the U.S., and at U.S. supermarkets; and 1X miles for every dollar spent on all other eligible purchases. Plus you get other benefits when traveling Delta, such as 15% off when you book travel with miles on Delta flights using Delta.com, 20% back on in-flight purchases, and a $150 Delta Stays credit when you book through Delta Stays using your American Express credit card.
If you don't fly Delta often, the other rewards categories are pretty common for most cash back cards, so it wouldn't be worth the annual fee unless you earn at least $350 in rewards flying Delta.

Mastercard® Titanium Card™
Weight: ~22 grams
Annual fee: $195
Welcome offer: n/a
- 24/7 Luxury Card Concierge
- Hotel benefits, such as room upgrades, free Wi-Fi, and daily breakfast for two
- Trip cancellation/interruption and baggage delay insurance
- Auto rental collision waiver
- Travel accident insurance
- No foreign transaction fees
I'd recommend the Mastercard® Titanium Card™ only if you fly often as it offers some of the highest redemption rewards for airline tickets, even compared to Chase Sapphire Preferred with its 25% bonus when you book through Chase Travel. Cardholders get 2% for airfare redemptions and 1% for cash back, so it makes sense to save points strictly for airline tickets. For example, 50,000 points would earn you a $1,000 plane ticket and there aren't any blackout dates.
The downside is you only earn one point per dollar spent in any category which is much lower than most of the cards on this list.

If you prefer a cash rewards credit card over earning points and miles, these cards may be a good fit.
Apple Card
Weight: ~15 grams
Annual fee: $0
Welcome offer: n/a
- Extra security with all credit card information remaining on your phone
- No fees
- Option to pay for Apple products over time without interest
If you're an Apple Pay enthusiast, why not turn your shopping into cash back? You earn 3% cash back on Apple purchases and when you use Apple Pay for purchases from select partners, 2% on other purchases made with Apple Pay, and 1% cash back on everything else, which is still a nice reward, and you don't have to worry about tracking categories.
You have two options for cashing out: an Apple Cash card, which you can cash out daily, or send to a savings account through Apple and Goldman Sachs Bank to earn interest on your rewards. The downside is that you can't split your earnings between the two. If you open the savings account, all earnings go there.
Learn more in our Apple Card review.
Prime Visa
Weight: ~12 grams
Annual fee: $0
Welcome bonus: $150 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval exclusively for Prime members
- Auto rental coverage
- Baggage delay and lost luggage insurance
- Travel accident insurance
- Purchase protection
- Extended warranty
If you're an Amazon Prime member, you'll benefit the most from this card, and if you shop Amazon frequently, a Prime membership makes sense. However, even if you aren't, there are still benefits. You earn unlimited 5% back at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and on Chase Travel purchases with an eligible Prime membership, unlimited 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and on local transit and commuting (including rideshare), and unlimited 1% on all other purchases.
The feature I love the most is that rewards are available as soon as the next day and you can redeem them on Amazon, which I consider cash back. You can also save them up and redeem on Chase.com for typical rewards, like travel, cash back, or gift cards.
*Please note that some cardholders have recently stated that the new cards they are receiving are plastic and not metal.

Finding the right business card is a big decision. I like the American Express Business Gold Card because it rewards you in your top two spending categories from a small list of six categories on up to $150,000 spent annually. The most rewarding category is U.S. advertising, something which most businesses need and is where I think the card's sweet spot is, otherwise the categories include dining out in the U.S., U.S. gas station purchases, transit costs, and monthly wireless bills from a U.S. service provider.
The other rewards aren't bad either, including 3X on flights and prepaid hotels booked at amextravel.com and 1X points on other eligible purchases.

The hefty annual fee on this card makes it best for frequent luxury travelers. You can earn 5X points per dollar spent on eligible airfare (on up to $500,000 per calendar year, after that 1X) and eligible hotel purchases, and 1X points per dollar on all other eligible purchases. The nice thing is you can book airline tickets directly through the airlines and still get credit, but you must still book your hotels through AmexTravel.com.
Between the 5X points on flights booked directly with airlines or with American Express Travel® (on up to $500,000 per calendar year, after that 1X) and prepaid hotels booked with American Express Travel®, and the numerous credits, it's easy to spend enough to make up for the annual fee, as long as you'll use the credits and other perks, including:
- Up to $200 annual hotel credit when booking Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection
- Up to $200 annual airline credit from the airline of your choice
- Up to $200 Uber Cash annually when you use your card to pay for Uber Eats or rides
- $199 CLEAR Plus credit
- Fee credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry
Even just a couple of these credits plus points earned from luxury travel will quickly cover the annual fee.

You really only benefit from the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card if you fly Delta frequently. You earn 3X miles per dollar spent on purchases made directly with Delta and 1X miles for all other eligible purchases, so if you don't fly Delta, the annual fee doesn't make sense to pay. Plus there are many other cash back credit cards that pay more on most categories.
But if you fly Delta, there are plenty of other benefits besides the elevated miles on Delta purchases to enjoy. I encourage you to ensure it makes sense with the high annual fee so you come out ahead each year.

What are metal credit cards made of?
Depending on the card, it could be made of brass, copper, brushed stainless steel, gold, or palladium. Some cards are made from alloys or a combination of plastic and metal.
The weights of metal cards also vary — here are a few cards we weighed to compare:
- The Business Platinum Card® from American Express weighs 0.7 ounces
- Chase Sapphire Reserve weighs 0.5 ounces
- Regular plastic cards, on average, weigh about 0.2 ounces
Metal credit cards are heavier and sturdier than plastic credit cards and can add a little prestige to your experience. But they're more difficult to destroy if you decide you want to close your account. Also, they may set off metal detectors at the airport and other places that require similar screening.
FAQs
What is the heaviest metal credit card?
The heaviest metal credit card is the J.P. Morgan Reserve, an invite-only rewards card from Chase that weighs 27 grams. For comparison, the Amex Platinum weighs around 18 grams, and the Chase Sapphire Reserve weighs about 13 grams.
Are metal credit cards better?
Metal credit cards tend to feel and look better than many non-metal cards, and these aesthetic differences can often be a good indicator of increased rewards and benefits as well. Many premium credit cards are made out of metal and offer more benefits than their non-premium counterparts.
But this doesn't always mean that metal credit cards are the best cards available and non-metal credit cards are worthless. For example, many Chase cards, such as the Chase Freedom Unlimited® and Chase Freedom Flex®, aren't made out of metal, but still provide a useful rewards rate and benefits for everyday cashback earning.
How do I destroy a metal credit card?
Major credit card companies that issue metal credit cards will typically provide postage-paid envelopes to send an old metal credit card back if you want it destroyed. This is an easy and free option, as most common shredders and pairs of scissors won't be up to the task. You might also be able to stop by a local branch of your card company to have your card destroyed there.
Bottom line
Metal credit cards are becoming more accessible than ever, and some of them don't even have an annual fee. As you consider different travel credit cards and other rewards cards, it's important to view them holistically to find the right new card for you. Check out our list of the best travel credit cards for more information.
If the best credit card for you happens to also be made of metal, you'll get the extra "wow" factor that comes with it. If not, you can still have the certainty that you're getting the best value that you qualify for.
