Credit Card Made With 25% Retired 747 Metal

Saw this reported over on FlyerTalk and thought some folks might be interested over here, if you didn't already know...

Seems like a great way to recycle old metal and a fun, novelty souvenir too. I like it.

Also a great marketing campaign. How many FF aficionados will sign up just for the actual card itself, which is partly made from a recycled Boeing 747. Any rewards points would just be a bonus; hah!

The new limited edition credit cards are made from 25% recycled metal from Delta Ship #6307, a Boeing 747-400 retired in November 2017. First put into service in 1990 with Northwest Airlines, the airframe operated over 14,000 flights under three different liveries, logging 68 million miles and carrying four million passengers.

Apparently the metal for the card was rolled too thin, so they laminated both sides of the card with plastic - hence 25%. The cards were made by MotoArt who also make Planetags.

I take this is only for AMEX US? No such cards in AU?
