So here's some fun. My card is expiring next month. My new card arrived in the mail this week. It's a plastic, contactless card.... I didn't even ask (though I had asked for a plastic extra card way back when I got the CSR because I had issues renting a car in South Africa with my old CSP due to the non-raised numbers and the rental agency refusing the card).
I added my wife as an AU on my CSR account and her card also arrived in plastic.

Just wondering if you were able to get a plastic card recently, as gooselee did last year? I am in the same situation now. Just got my replacement card, which of course is metal. I requested a plastic card via secure message and was told in reply that "Chase Sapphire Reserve are metal engraved card. The option for a plastic card is unavailable." What are the magic words I need to say in order to get one?
