American Express announced they are offerring their Delta Airlines card in metal.
Chase gave me a Marriott card some years ago, made out of metal. The first time I used it was in a card reader at Walmart. It broke the card reader. I ended up having other problems with the card at other machines.
When the card expired, I couldn’t cut it up without a hack saw, so I just burned it.
This was before you could just tap the screen with your card…but personally, I would not recommend getting a metal card.
Can you even get a credit card made out of airplane metal through the metal detector at he airport?

Who expects the amount of metal in the card is so small as to make for a great marketing campaign and justification for a super expensive annual fee without actually being significantly different from other credit cards…

Chase has been doing this for years. The Chase Sapphire Reserve is metal. They send a postage paid envelope with a new card to mail the old one for destruction.
No, there is no problem at airports. They go through the scanner with personal items.
