Wow, you spend 3.1 Million in one month? You better have an Enzo in your garage
3.4 million! Okay, I'll come clean...it's my Enzo in this thread, and this was the repair charge.ChrisK said:Wow, you spend 3.1 Million in one month? You better have an Enzo in your garage
I'll make an offer on your NSX... won't go far to paying off that 3.4million though. You have one expensive lifestyle! 
Man wouldn't it be nice to have a credit of 3.4 Million on your CC just once!!!
I hope you get flyer miles on that.
Imagine the interest you are paying.

Yep, just use all the money then file bankruptcy.
About a dozen years ago I was buying a house and while waiting to close I got a letter from the Title Co. excluding a $3,200,000 lean on the property. Yes that was $3.2 mill. The best part was it was not a typo and the lean was placed by the IRS. I guess the biggest creditor gets paid first, the sale price was only $175,000.
Awesome.
You must've bought some seriously mad modz for the NSX.

how could you get a limit that high?
I thought $100,000 for a credit card limit is real good

I heard a while back that someone had purchased a painting on the AMEX card for several million $$$.AndyH said:
you guys are obviously not familiar with the all black Amex card. Invitation only, no limit type deal. Over 2 mil gets a phone call, other than that, ENJOY!!!!
YUP Centurian Amex Card is by invitation only. Only selected few Platinum members would receive the invite...GREAT perks to include free international cell phone use with $1000 annual fee.

But Amex is not really a "credit" card, although I guess they have been blurring that line lately.
My ex-wife got a payroll check from her employer for $34,000.00 once for 2 weeks! It was direct deposit. Man it was tempting!!! We ended up calling them about the error.

All the major card companies have "no limit" cards with "lifestyle" concierge and travel perks for their high net worth customers. This includes Amex Centurion (Black), Visa Signature and Visa Infinite, Mastercard Worldcard, even Diners Club brought back their Carte Blanch a little while back. The cards are not advertised, they are invitation-only. The Amex Centurion is the best as far as perks, but of course many places do not accept Amex so I wouldn't recommend making it your only card!
T Bell - $34,000? I'll go you one better, last year I deposited a $3,100.00 check at the teller window and the teller accidently hit double zero each time she was supposed to have hit zero, so I got a deposit receipt back that said $31,000,000.00 Obviously this wouldn't have made it through the end-of-day closeout at the bank but it was still interesting to see how little attention they sometimes give to double-checking what they are doing. I can see one extra zero or transposed digits or something like that slipping through, but that many extra digits should really stand out without even having to read them closely.

Well, I can somewhat beat that...I used to do payroll for my dad...usually about $17,000 a week C-A-S-H. At our bank, the bank manager personally handles my check when I come in every Friday under arrangements with my pops...anywho, i leave one day and counted when I got home. I guess they switched up a few bills because they gave me $27,000!! I don't know if he misread or what?? I couldn't imagine miscounting. Anyways, I brought it back
and got a nice pat on the back oh well WOW !!tomc92bb000059 said:

In 1995, Eli Broad of Los Angeles California, purchased Roy Lichtenstein's painting I...I'm sorry (1965-66) for the sum of $2.5 million, paying with his American Express card. The highest credit card transaction to date, it earned Broad a total of 2.5 million air miles.
The largest collection of valid credit cards to date is one of 1,265 (all different) by Walter Cavanagh of Santa Clara CA. He keeps them in the world longest wallet-250ft. long, weighing 35 lbs. The total credit limit is $1.6 million dollars.
Imagine when HIS mail runs !!
Considering how many cards he has, that doen't seem like a very high limit.

What's your source for this information? I was under the impression that the largest Amex transaction was in the $50 million dollar range. I believe it occured in Switzerland for the purchase of a jetliner for private use.
By the way, Walter had 1397 credit cards as of January 2000. His combined credit limits amount to $1.65 million.

Guinness World Records 2000 Millennium Edition, and the 1992 edition. I collect, read and try to memorize the Guinness books. Where did you get the new info on Walter? There is no mention of him in the 2000 millennium edition that I could find. I do not have books 2001-2004 so my info is a little dated.
