STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

The click it makes when you set it on the bar is appealing. For that as well as travel perks, people pay a $450 annual fee. It's so popular Chase, ran out of the metal alloy. So for the moment, new customers are getting super trendy metal cards that are actually made of plastic after all. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
