The card actually looks like it's experimental or in beta.

There's also card glue all over where they tried sticking the smartchip on.

The card type appears to be a newer version of Chase's carbon cards, but the new card isn't carbon... it's actually a pretty heavy piece of metal.

4147-24-470-01 (old one: 4147-04-370-04)

I still haven't tested if the old one or the new one is actually bullet-proof.
just got mine today... they're quite a bit heavier than the prior ones, which is probably going to cause problems.
