2022.7 Update: The new card Wells Fargo Autograph is 11g in weight.
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?
