BLACK CARD ~ CENTURION $1,000 ANNUAL FEE INVITATION ONLY...DON'T ASK TO APPLY MUST BE LONG TERM AMEX PLAT CARD HOLDER (PROBABLY WITH PERFECT HISTORY ~ NOT EVEN ONE LATE)
Centurion Card I've heard that AMEX only gives this card to "select platinum card members." Does the word "select" mean people with perfect platinum history or those who travel a lot or both? I feel that this card is only useful if you travel a lot otherwise the annual fee ($1,000) wouldn't be worth it.
Re: Centurion Card They offer it to people with platinum,and to the ones that have a very high spending pattern.They know who is qualified for this type of card.All they have to do is get an updated credit report,and look at the payment history track record.They are surely not going to select someone that is only paying minimum due only on all credit accounts.They want very responsible customers.
Re: Centurion Card How about the people who only charge a total of about $400-$500 per month and always pay in full on all cards? I don't think this is a high spending pattern, but the bills are paid in full every month.
Re: Centurion Card folks that have black are like millionares' (sp). High spending pattern might be like $20-100K/month of course paid in full.
Re: Centurion Card I don't know if I can spend $20-100k per month but I sure as hell owe a million dollars! Sorry, just completed my tax returns. Best regards, Sam
Re: Centurion Card Thanks guys. I saw something on TV about the "Black Card". Just curious if anyone knew of a way to get it. Thanks again
Re: Centurion Card The Centurion card is strictly reserved for the elite---high profile people (CEO's, HollyWood Stars, people who fly the Concord, and other rich people that make over $250,000 and travel all the time) There are about 800,000 platinum cardmembers in the US, and about 8,000 Centurion cardholders in the US--thus onlyabout 1% qualify for the card. Saw a TV ad? Who and when? What station. That cannot be.
JASON- Will "BLACK". Jason- any way I could call Centurion and get them to consider me "elite" with my terrific million dollar sense of humor? c ya back in ca dogman
Centurion Card Just curious, why did they make this card black? I guess AMEX ran out of designs (green, gold, platinum (silver) ). I think they should have made a glow in the dark design. MBNA already patented the translucent design for the Quantum card, so I guess they couldn't make a translucent AMEX Centurion card.
Re: Centurion Card There was or is talk of a "white" card. Not sure why they chose black. Might be because they already had blue rolled out in Europe. Also, the centurion card was first introduced in Europe with black cardstock. I think they did it to be different---no other card has been black before. If you notice it is the reverse image of the platinum card--what is black is silver and what it silver is black. I think it looks cool.
Re: Jason AMEX Jason, So there are 800,000 Platinum cardholders and 8,000 Centurion cardholders. That doesn't mean that only 1% of the Platinum cardholders qualify, but rather that only 1% of them accept the Centurion card. There could be a few, or even a lot, of Platinum cardholders who are offered the card but don't want to pay $1000 a year for its perceived benefits.
Re: Jason AMEX RichGuy, True indeed... Old money cares not of "perceived" things. Especially, charge cards... They just do not care.. New money, however, is quite the opposite. they like to show everyone everything...
Re: Jason AMEX Not a TV ad, some special about people with BLACK CARDS...Thought it was something cool to get But I wouldnt pay $1,000 just to be "cool" like that.
