My Metal is in the Mail.
I’d heard rumors of a metal Amex Biz Plat coming, but yesterday I saw Gary’s post and immediately called in to request one. I like metal cards. Many people rag on the metal enhancement, and I am not one of them. Is it a HUGE benefit towards card ownership? No. But, I’m not ashamed to be pro-metal. In fact, many people must also be pro-metal because it’s an option when you call in to Amex – “request a metal replacement card,” or something to that effect. And if you’ve held a new metal Amex Plat, you might as well skip the gym cause you could just put in some reps with that bad boy and look like DW at AYP. (he used to play college football for Auburn.)
It. Is. Heavy.
I’m looking forward to my wallet being weighted down with 3 metal cards: Prestige, Reserve, and my new Amex Biz Plat. 3 cards that have huge annual fees, and ultimately provide me with far more value than the fees I’m charged.
Adios old Amex Biz Plat.
I’m not sure Miles will be even able to hold it. I’m guessing it weights nearly the same as him!
Will you be calling in to request one?
If so…call 800-492-8468
Also, I wanted to thank you in advance if you leave crappy comments. You’re just helping my bounce rate and time on page stats. Thanks haters 😉

Milesmonkeyboy,
Have you ever noticed when using Amex Platinum charge card oveseas, you will get alot of attention around because the card is extreamly hard to be approved for and in some countries it’s known as “an invitation only” for ultra wealthy individuals. One time I was in Hong Kong using this card people kept staring at it and I got lots of compliments. Well a friends of mine with thin credit files (new to the states) recently got approved for the card with only six month established credit & her platinum NPSL was cap at 1k.
A little weird on the last comment about haters, bud. Been getting trolled a lot lately?
Christian – yeah, I end up getting trolled on pieces like this which are purely written to be fun. So I was just having a bit of fun back 😉
