So I went to lunch with a friend that got the Palladium, it was at one of those cafeteria style food places. I noticed that due to the heft and rigidness of the card, the lady couldn't really swipe it naturally since it felt so different. The Cent actually feels like a normal credit card and can be swiped more naturally. The Palladium is odd in that it has absolutely zero give, you can not bend that thing and it weights at least 3x what the Cent weighs.
