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.
I was confused by the glue all over mine. I agree that it is rather ugly. The Marriott card is much better despite being very similar IMO
