My old, weighty metal RC card is due to expire next month so my replacement came in the mail today.
- It's got a slightly different design on the front
- It does not feature contactless payment
- It still says The Ritz-Carlton Rewards
- It's got my old, pre-merger rewards number on the back
- All of the phone numbers on the back are the same + an additional number for "Concierge" (not to be confused with Elite Rewards Guest Services)
- Although it feels like plastic it has a notice "Contains Metal DO NOT SHRED"
I've been thinking about dumping this card for a while now. Maybe it's time.

I for one, love the weight, feel and look of the card. (I think its nicer than the AX plat but that's me..)
Mine doesn't expire for 4 years so I hope I can keep it 'till then.

Unfortunately no longer available for new applicants. The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex card basically replaced the Ritz card, but no club upgrade certs.

The key part is "I've been thinking about dumping this card for a while now". The bullet items were the icing, not the cake. "Most ridiculous reasons" comes across as rather histrionic, IMHO.
