If you get one, we are going shopping! :biggrin: :tongue: :biggrin:
Take a look at Citigroup's Chairman card. More benefits. It's also black if you're into that. No spending limits, access to private airport lounges, domestic and international companion tickets, medical evacuation insurance program, dedicated service representatives, etc., etc.. It's $300 per year, but sometime they'll waive the first year fee.
I also have MBNA Quantum card which is black and has a ton of benefits but let me tell you going out with a AMEX black and a black NSX-t is LOADS of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: 
I am sure everyone here know what it is like to have people drool over your NSX, it is a similar feeling !!!!!!!!!

I can see some painting their cards to match their cars. Red with black top, Spa Yellow, Imola Orange..etc..
Once you go black, you can never go back... :wink:blackcat said:I also have MBNA Quantum card which is black and has a ton of benefits but let me tell you going out with a AMEX black and a black NSX-t is LOADS of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

I'm much too poor to have any sort of black card.
I have the albino card. I live off food stamps. :tongue:
If I am not mistaken, the only way to get the AMEX Blackcard, is you have to be asked by AMEX. In other words, you have to be some kind of celeb or uber rich person that can drop a few mil without breaking a sweat. Aka Tiger Woods, George Clooney, or the middle eastern lady at Best Buy I saw a few months back buying a crap load of stuff with her Black Card, ah yes...to have a family in the oil business. Too bad my family is barely in the WD-40 biz :tongue:
I like my Discover card. They paid me about $300 last year in cashback bonuses. It may not impress the crowd at Best Buy but it sure impresses me. :smile:
I love my AE Costco card, not imprssive to look at, but rebates are great! Over $700 were rebated to me for the privilage of using the card. Cards that wants annul fee are no interest to me.

Just the kind of hype Amex was hoping to build by making it invitation only... http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/blackcard.asp
Really only worth it if you travel a lot to take advantage of the travel perks. Or if you are the type who likes to try to impress people with your watch / car / credit card. Maybe next someone will release a "my d*ck is bigger" card for those folks...
AMEX black cards are funny because they are a seemingly world renowned way of picking out the richest guy in the room....it is like pulling up in a Bentley Arnage, but pocket size. 
The fabled AMEX Centurion card aka Black Card.
I watched a show in japan which talked bout this card and the benefits and people that have them even though I dont understand japanese much. just saw the pictures. like a super yacth in monaco at the F1 grand prix I think the price was like $US200,000. On the show they had this guy who purchased an F1 car on the card!! haha he also had other notable cars and memorabilia.
Anyways, from what I can gather they can book or buy basically anything, anywhere around the world for you. Basically a 24 hour personal secretary to get whatever you want. In Australia its $800 a year for the Centurion card but you have to be invited and normally they look at people spending $10,000 a month my boss was invited. I told him what for.

American Express developed the black 'Centurion Card' for its very
best customers. It is so exclusive that you won't even find details of
it on the American Express website. It's available by 'invitation only'
and reputedly requires card spending of US$5,000 per month.
This kind of spending brings plenty of benefits, including a personal
travel counselor to handle all travel needs, and a personal concierge
to help with anything from special occasion planning and selecting
ideal gifts, to locating unusual items.
I have a red visa. :smile:

Cards like that would be cool for the novelty of them, but I just could never take myself seriously with them. I mean, I like to do lots of things for myself and would feel like a tool calling a concierge for everything....but to some people that is appealing. Different strokes for different folks.
