The original Palladium did not have a chip or contact-less features - both were introduced way after these features became available on other cards. It's good they finally added these features as I would probably not carry or use it much having been the victim of swipe fraud at an overseas restaurant. It was a PITA to update all of my airline, hotel and other booking sites with the new card (and still a PITA when I have to update the expiration dates).
To be sure, the original Palladium card displayed your personal signature engraved into the card. I miss that.
