ntrprnr 0 #1 June 8, 2006 My new AmEx arrived - and it's no other reason than a marketing promotion, but it's made of Titanium. It's an actual METAL credit card. Even though it has no more value than my old plastic one yesterday did, it's still quite cool. It's actually metal! Very cool. Never had a metal card before._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ntrprnr 0 #6 June 8, 2006 Heh. :) Good thought. AmEx makes you pay at the end of the month in full, (except for their optima card,) so they make their money in merchant fees, and a yearly fee to the customer. Still, though... Will be fun to give it to a cashier and see what they say. It's actually heavy._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

There are some that accumulate interest like the rest Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, it's invite only, $2500 a year account fee, and you have to charge at least $250,000 a year on it. But it looks damn nifty!Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
