The Heaviest Credit Cards List (2022.7 Update: Wells Fargo Autograph: 11g)
physixfan 2022-07-22 2022-07-22
2022.7 Update: The new card Wells Fargo Autograph is 11g in weight.
2022.6 Update: The AmEx Delta Reserve Boeing 747 Special Edition is 12g in weight. To be honest, it is a bit lighter than I expected.
2022.4 Update: The new card Bilt Mastercard (0 annual fee) is also a metal card! Its weight is 16g.
Most credit cards are made of plastic of approximately 5 grams (g) of plastic, but some are made of metal. Not all metal cards have the same weight, which begs the question… which card is heaviest?
