Is it your intention to miss-lead or do you not realize that the credit card is made entirely out of Titanium, which is a novel concept and obviously raises questions about weight, size, and look.

"novel"? Is it your intention to miss-lead [sic] or do you not realize that metal credit cards have been a thing for decades? The Chase Sapphire Reserve/Preferred, two of the most popular credit cards in recent years, are metal cards. The Amazon credit card is metal. The AmEx Platinum is a metal card. And this is just a handful of cards among the 22 listed here [1]. 1: https://www.creditcardinsider.com/blog/metal-credit-cards/ https://www.creditcardinsider.com/blog/metal-credit-cards/

      Here’s the second sentence on that page: > This card is constructed with stainless steel on the front and carbon in the back.

    Titanium is not magic pixie dust, it's just another ordinary metal :-)

This is, in fact, not a novel concept. Billy McFarland of Fyre Festival fame had previously started a company, Magnesis, which also offered a metal credit card.

  Amex Platinum and Centurion cards are currently metal, a bit more dense than the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Reserve cards.

You are aware that a variety of consumer credit card companies, including Amex and Chase, currently offer metal credit cards… right?

  Faux titanium: “This card is constructed with stainless steel on the front and carbon in the back.” Apple Card is the real thing.

1) Metal cards suck, they often don't work in parking garages[1], and you can't put them in a shredder 2) They are not novel. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/comments/4zwpvt/psa_your_fancy_metal_credit_card_wont_get_you_out/ https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/comments/4zwpvt/psa_your_f...
