    Ok people don't flame me for this one but am just a little curious. Does anyone have any info on the all Black Amex card. Not that i am anywhere near being able to get it. Just want to know what the the requirements are and what not as i heard that you can't even apply for it. So if you have any info please due share the knowledge.

    Thanks

    yeah, get yourself an AMEX plat and charge over 100K and you just might get invited to carry it. :)

    I talked to a friend yesterday after I met a guy last week who had one... I was curious... my friend said she heard that to maintain it you have to spend $250,000 a year on the card. What you have to spend to get an invitation for one I don't know.

    It's called the American Express Centurion Card. Someone put one from a cancelled account up on eBay not too long ago, and I saved the picture of it. Here's that card:

    (If anyone's interested in seeing pictures of other cards, you can view them in a little historical "museum" I put together at the "Who Pulled My Credit" group -- click the "Photo" link on the left side here.)

    More about the AmEx Centurion Card:

    If you search Creditnet with the keyword "centurion" you'll see that there has been quite a bit of discussion in the past here regarding the card -- lots of information -- including a post by someone who even claimed to have acquired the card here. Dogman even had the guts to fake us out one day, lol.

    Finally, American Express doesn't keep this card a secret. Here's a great AmEx link where they list the benefits here. And here is a pre-filled search at the AmEx site for Centurion Card links.

    Hope you get one soon! :)

    Doc

    I would rather pay $85.00 for my AMEX GOLD DELTA card...I would not mind a limit of $100,000...but BLACK AMEX is just a "CHARGE CARD"...PAY IN FULL EVERY MONTH...NO EXCEPTIONS...

    Even though the AMEX GOLD DELTA card interest rate is WAY HIGH @ 14.24%...you can pay interest if needed...

    CENTURIAN CARD!!!!!

    Personally I do not see the problem in spending the $250,00 a year they want. The problem is paying the dang thing back.
