I have the Yellow Gold cards coming and I'll be curious to see the difference of Yellow Gold vs Rose Gold cards. I get two Plat metal cards (not contactless) and the Rose Gold. Can't tell the difference.
They are not real metal cards. They do not make metal sounds as the Ritz card does. Also, pure metal cards are easy to bend.... The well constructed Chase cards, such as new Marriott cards are in similar quality as the Plat card. Only the CSR cards are poorly made.
