I would rather keep using my original metal Platinum since I don't use contactless and the original card is more durable.

Can anyone comment?

Will my original Platinum card eventually be deactivated?
What exactly makes it more durable? Seems to me like the card will be extremely durable either way. Perhaps getting into the habit of using contactless would be a better solution.
