I’ve been using the card for several weeks, couple of thoughts:

- signup and activation is pretty slick

- Like the physical card

- privacy element if it is real is best selling point - not sure it’s real, but really the only reason I would keep using the card

- rewards are lackluster (but enjoy daily cash remit)

- can’t download your transactions which is idiotic

- transaction categorization is pretty poor at the moment (e.g. United Airlines (Travel) shows up as United Club (Food Dining)

- interest rate is high for those that might carry a balance

- ancillary benefits are limited/lackluster I.e. status in a hotel chain or insurance coverage etc.

Have you noticed any wear and tear on the card itself? I've got a mostly white credit card (not metal) that is stained from my wallet and sliding it and such, just curious.

It doesn’t look too bad now - but you can tell it’s going to wear pretty quickly
