Why don't Amex have a ladies card? "Lady Amex" with a lady Centurion.
Yes I would. Gladly.
By invited only? Not in Indonesia, you can simply apply if you have fulfilled the requirements.
This isn’t a good video mainly because you don’t know all the things this card offers. Not to mention you’re first complimenting the cards and then at the end of the video uncertain if it’s worth it. Too indecisive of a video.
I want this card for selling the card what is the target by invatation by One day and per month also by yearly what is point value together i need
We have a family business, a lady once walked in and gave me this card to charge for a hefty purchase that she decided on in less than 2 minutes. I inserted it into the machine and it showed an error (my fault). I looked at her and said ‘ma’am, maybe you’ve run out of money on this card’ She laughed for 5 minutes straight. It’s only later I found out that she was one of the elite in Hong Kong😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂
These cards have no limit. No wonder she had a 5 minute laugh
It’s a charge card so it doesn’t have any limit so it’s literally impossible to get turned down
Cute story. You didn’t know. Glad it turned out ok and you gained some knowledge from your faux pas. 🤦♀️☺️
LMAO...you made me laugh too dude. I'm pretty sure when you recall this in your mind you laugh out loud to yourself
I've only known 2 people that owned this card. Both of them are so low-profile, you won't even know they're rich. I've had the privilege of holding the card and it's metal. It's got some weight to it. What does a poor person like me to do? MAKE IT CLINK ON THE TABLE. This happened in 2 different settings. Separately they said the same thing: "I just knew you would do that!" LMAO
Stealth wealth!
I have the card as well, now you know three peple. It is lighter than my platinum card, because black card is made out of titanium.
Same. My boss actually has a black card, but he declined. He showed us proof too so he didn’t just say it to say it. But he definitely isn’t one person I’d expect lol
@@anthonymeier628 multi millionaires can afford one too. Plus you get one if you have a high enough credit score. Whoch you can get by having multiple amex cards
@@GetToThePoint-Creditcards 🧢🧢
This card is primarily beneficial to business people. The truly rich don't need or want any of the "perks" involved with it. For example a "concierge" when traveling. They have their own personal assistants that handle everything for them. Airline perks mean little to someone who owns his/her own personal jet. Hotel perks are meaningless when you can just have your people arrange your bookings in the finest suites of the best hotels etc. Of what benefit are cruise ship perks to someone who owns their own yacht or can charter one whenever they feel like it? No this card is only of interest to those who have to work for a living such as top level attorneys or business people who have a high level of income but still have to work very hard to make it and usually the card is issued to the business and used by the individual. There is a big difference between multi-millionaires and billionaires. I doubt people like Bezos would be found anywhere near a commercial airline or cruise ship.
This is an in depth analysis of the card, kudos to you.
A lot of rich people will let their assistants use the perks from the cards. So maybe not for the person itself but the people they hire who book said things can use those perks. I'm sure there is a trickle down effect. Free is still free for someone. I only know this from my cousin being a personal assistant for a B or C grade actor about a decade ago.
yep, ultra rich don’t get a black because of the perks but because this is the top tier card.
Blah blah blah
10,000+ have the card and that doesn’t include anyone in this comment section and no one but them know all the perks, so I’m gonna ignore the “trust me bro” explanations and go with “the card is useful to the rich,that’s why they use it”
Back in the early 90's I was a sales rep for a telco company out for a meal with a number of colleagues. The bill came and the 'Amex Topper' Game was played - this is where the lowest card also paid for the the highest card's meal. So there was the usual card's/corporate green cards, a few gold cards one platinum card (mine) and then from the quietest guy at the table a black Centurion card lands on the top of the pile. Everyone stop talking. We had heard of it, but never seen one. The owner, said, 'Not to worry lads, it's on me tonight'. The waiter called over the Manager, as he had not heard of or seen one, the manager also had not seen one. The guy chuckled and said he should call Amex and just read out the name and number and things would be verified. The manager did so and as the bill was processed we got two bottles of Champagne, on the house, to finish the evening. When pressed by the people on the table all he said was 'You have to be invited to own one and it works everywhere, even if the place does not accept Amex'. Never seen one since.
You are so lucky to be present at the moment. Wish I could experienced the same one day.
Me too @@leef12we need that kind of friends 😁
The $5000 USD annual fee comes with some unusual perks. There are sales at many retail stores that are for Centurion card holders only. They open the store after regular hours to allow better customer service. There is also a concierge service where you can call a number 24 hours per day to get information on specialty stores, restaurants etc. I have a friend who worked there. He would get an art supply or music store to open at 3 am because a celebrity wanted to buy stuff. That was spur of the moment and not pre-planned like the late night sales. Same with an Amex member restaurant. Someone would get out of bed and make a full meal to deliver to a tour bus or hotel.
A guy wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sandals walked into an extremely exclusive boutique. He only bought a tie with his AE Black Card and end up with the phone number of EVERY sales girl of the store.
@Marco Kitty Compensate for nearly everything. Most girls I know are fascinated by that bulge near a man's groin...the wallet.
The card fee is not 5000, it is 2000
At this moment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in alternative streams of income that are not reliant on the government, particularly with the existing worldwide economic crisis. Investing in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies can still be profitable during this period. Therefore, it is advisable to explore these investment options to secure one's financial future.
It's important to keep in mind that investing is a zero-sum game with both good and bad days. However, by spending and investing wisely and diversifying your holdings, you can minimize risks and maximize gains. Hiring a knowledgeable investment advisor with a wide range of options can help you achieve this and leave little room for regrets.
@@valeriepierre9778 I personally worked with an investment advisor to diversify my $200k portfolio across multiple markets, resulting in over $980k in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks. With the right guidance, you can also make informed investment decisions and achieve your financial goals.
I just started a few months back, I'm going for long term, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, who’s this advisor you work with?
thanks for sharing this, I googled the advisor you mentioned and after going through her resume, I can tell she's a pro. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply
try harder lol
My coworker and friend in France has one. He's not making over $1M a year, but he easily puts $250K a year on it. The card has helped us with restaurant reservations, like getting into the Jules Verne restaurant in the Eiffel Tower, on 2 days' notice, which usually takes 6 months or longer to get. Otherwise, its the same concierge you get with the Platinum AMEX card. We've traveled to Dubai on the card and I've never seen the extra airport help/special check in/or private security line you mention.
Disaggree - it is a separat team supporting 24/7. It is about your whishes and what you can afford. Tennis Training with Nadal in Spain Mallorca? Super Bowl Cards? They make it possible

@@isaiahvlogs696 Hope he doesn't go bankrupt like 50% of pro players within five years of retirement.
@@raylopez99 yeah but average citizens like yourself would probably never see one. Much less hold or earn yourself one.
LAX has a service that takes you by car from the Centurion lounge to your gate.
I ran into a very nice gentleman who had one when I work in a high-end retail store about 20 years ago. We started up a conversation he told me everything that's in this video. He told me he does take advantage of everything and makes his life much easier. Also he mentioned it gets delivered to you in a very fancy box. Any retailer that accepts American Express has to allow card members to skip any wait no matter how long the wait is. Even if the wait is years. Crazy!
My former boss had/has a black Amex, one day he invited us out for drinks, all great. At the end of the night, our way to the underground station we stopped at McDonalds and he tried to buy a cheeseburger, ironically his black card was declined. Apparently Amex does not think a rich person would spend £1 at McDonalds.
I used to work at Burger King here in CH. A man showed me his Platinum Card. I just smiled and told him politely that BK doesn't accept any AMEX. Then he paid with his Debit Card. He was a tourist.
That card is definitely full of perks, which very few can afford, but those perks are not actually "free". The annual costs of the card pays for a lot of that. Anyone who can fit the requirements should not hesitate, the prestige and benefits are worth it. The customer support is dedicated and can help cardmembers get priceless assistance. They can even help you get tickets to premium events for which anyone alone would not be able to.
*Well, I never had a rich parents but at least I have Mr GARDNER to TEACH ME.*
Getting money is an issue that everyone has needs in order to live a better and luxurious life.
@@dianebuzz1346 Not only that.
The reason people fail to succeed is discouragement from family and friends, how do you know if something is working or not with out a trial.
this is not the first time i am hearing about Mr Gardner and his trades exploits but I have no idea how I can reach him, before now
Please who else has traded with Mr Gardner and made profit, I was told he is the best trader and account handler.
Interesting how AMEX is so important in the USA, and yet is frequently not accepted in Europe. Visa and MasterCard are the norm over here.
Just did a eurotrip. Unless its some street food, they take Amex.
it’s not European Express for a reason 😂
I've seen the Amex Black Card in the late 80's before I moved from NYC. I stood behind a lady waiting to pay for purchases with my son, I was going to pay with my Amex Gold and the lady in front one upped me with the Black.
wow, so what! LOL
He said it didn't exist until 1999
My Mother had one for a few years but canceled it when she realized she wasn't using many of the perks it came with so it cost more than it was worth.
I worked for a Ski Resort about 80 miles west of Denver managing one of the ticket offices. When the wonderful folks from south of the border would come up and go skiing, I would typically see 2 or 3 of the Titanium based cards a day. Every single of the gentleman were gracious and well spoken and would think nothing of buying their group of 8-12 people (grand parents their spouses, kids, their kids friends, the nannies, etc.) a full ticket for 7-10 days. Even when people were saying they wouldn't ski all that much. The buyer would typically say but you might... My wife worked at a store that not only sold high end clothing but top of the line ski and snowboard equipment. I would be asked where they could rent good equipment and I would give several names of shops including hers. She told me later about how much these large groups would come in and buy for their stay. A fashion forward ski jacket could start around $1200 Same for the ski pants. And of course, you can't ski in the same clothes every day.... They would also buy their boots instead of renting them so they would fit right. And probably the skis because the skis looked scratched. Most times, they would leave them behind when they left due to custom fees. The Japanese tourists would do the same with the equipment, but, according to our friends who worked in the hotels, they would leave them behind, especially Golf Clubs. I found that of the people who were using the Black card, most were quite, low-key foreign business owners who travailed extensively. And used the security features that the card offered when they traveled out of the country. Because, yes, I did see men and women with dark glasses on, and spiral corded ear buds, and noticed them talking into their cuffs. But the "Boss" ignored them and asked me politely to ignore them as well as he didn't want to spook his kids. .
Favorite Mark Twain quote- "I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position!"
I first saw a black card when I was checking into Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando 2009 - our check-in person had it...his dad was ultra rich banking family (so you never know by what someone does-what money they have) . Then I saw a black card at the orthodontist when a mom pulled it out to pay-I was told she owned a medical equipment company. I am in FLORIDA - MIAMI luxury capital- since then I am sure the number of AMEX Black running around has tripled💰💰💰 along with all the Bentley's. OWNERSHIP is overrated ACCESS is everything!!!-my billionaire friend's saying. May all who run or read this feed be blessed with health, joy and much prosperity!
cool story bro
I’m taking my American Express card and spray painting it black tonight✅😁🙌💯👻
I worked at Beaver Creek ski resort in Colorado. It caters to the super rich and I was selling private ski lessons for $795 a day. I handled many of these cards. The coolest thing about them is that they're not made of plastic, but rather some kind of metal that feels like polished stone. naturally they weigh quite a bit more than your typical card.
Good pointers about Black Amex, I’ve been a Platinum member since 1984, their service to member is excellent and enough for our needs. The Black Card was offered by the annual cost for our budget was prohibited.
Are you sure it was offered? Because if you have to ask whether it's in your budget...it's not for you.
I don't know anyone who has a centurion card who would discuss it on a KZhead video. Ergo... you are full of it!
I don’t know anyone that knows anyone that has a black card that would bother posting it on a KZhead comment section…ergo, you’re full of it
Time Stamp: 01:56 you said Amazon decided to create a black card.
I thought I heard that.
My am exp...Amazon card is heavy too...i thought that was different about it
I worked years ago at Heathrow at car rental and met few people with these, always dressed subtly and tight spending money but the cards did authorise the quickest!
I have the Platinum card and I haven't used all the perks enough to know if the Centurion card would be worth it. From what I have read and from reviews, there is a big difference between the Platinum card and Black card but that the same time there isn't. There is trade offs for the platinum card though like instead of private airport escorting, you can TSA pre check and then go to the lounges. You kinda get the same perks but they aren't private.
Yea! Some of the perks of the black card are specifically catered to that lifestyle but for the rest of us the regular platinum card works just fine :)
You might have overlooked the fact that it is by invitation only.
Umm the entry requirement for the plat card (let's say the highest of the 3) is around 2/300k annual income. In contrast, the black card is more likely to be in the 8 figures. So there's absolutely no way the benefits can be on par. As the video said, only those who own the card really know what benefits they are getting, so it's not for the rest of us to decide whether it's worth it or not
Nah man, I got my platinum card back when I was making $50k/y. All you need for the plat is a good credit score.
@@UCjhIfO LMAO you definitely don’t need 300k for a Platinum card. I got my first when I was making $70k, and that was only in the last ten years.
I’ve only known one person who had the Black Card. He was a partner in the law firm that handled Enron’s account 🧐
And he's probably still practicing. Since it's not a violation of professional ethics to support a crook, only a violation to support a crook in future crimes, which no doubt this lawyer was careful to disclaim and avoid if they were smart.
The card for the elite
It really is!
@@BehindTheBusiness most definitely you have to have a special invitation. All these fake black Amex cards that people are trying to get are not the real deal. It's just some insecure person wants to feel that they need to show off what they don't have. I'm not really impressed by anything I saw two in my life. And most the people that I did see him with didn't really look like much. But they had a lot.
Amex Platinum Member since 2003, love the card and benefits though the benefits have shifted towards travel more than everyday perks. I would love the black card, just for achievement purposes alone.
Yes! I think that is the allure. Just having it.
I still have the gold card because the platinum is all geared to travel. I spend about 150k a year on my gold and it is a metal card.
@@chrisyoungs3896 yeah, the Gold card done me well before my Platinum card and my wife still has one as she doesn’t need any Platinum perks.
Saw one once while working as a front desk clerk. The guest that had it was pretty low key. In fact, he talked with me for a bit, telling stories from his time owning some other hotels. He might have been the wealthiest person I’ve ever had a conversation with, but he was no hassle about it. Quite a departure from the clown trying to be a baller that same night playing “let’s make a deal” over a bottle of Dom that he didn’t want to pay list price for.
Well put together!
I know a couple who have their own black card. Didn't realize they had a black card until we were out to dinner, and I insisted that I cover the meal since we were staying at their home for a few days. She asked to look at the bill, and I obliged. She then grabbed my card, threw down the Centurion and wouldn't give mine back until the waiter came back with the receipt.
Thanks for the hardwork on the video!
Thank you for that comment!
Yes thank you!
I love the American Express Card. I am a card holder and we accept the American Express checks for business. What a great service AMEX offers, thank you American Express. I need some more marketing supplies. Food ranks. Star system, hospitality system. I love you. Now, I see a star. Bye. ~Tianna Mudd
If that's legit, can you gimme money?
Can you gimme $10?
@@yuckfou514 bro is she is DC at Victoria's Secret
I was talking with someone about this card yet a few hours later "KZhead " recommends me this video........yep I have been watch
This is giving a whole new meaning to customer service
Awesome video! The views doesnt do this video any justice! Thanks for the effort!
Unfortunately in today's world, I would stay with the green one or maybe gold. Flash the platinum or black and people will take note and sometimes not for the better
Very true. As somebody in the mere 1%, I lay low when traveling overseas. Have not been kidnapped once and I've been to over 30 countries. For now...
No one cares. However, as a member you can up-/downgrade as you wish and even hold more than one card (you can hold a centurion and a blue card and use them at your convenience).
The Centurion card is heavy in the hand and most credit card readers don't like that metal. The tap feature eliminated those problems. I've seen four of these in my life. I've read that the annual fees and spending minimums are high.
Annual fee is $5000 and the minimum is $100,000
The Platinum AMEX has served me well with great benefits and many perks (many which were mentioned in this video). If you have that much disposable income to be offered the Centurion Card, have at it and enjoy the secret benefits .
I have the Platinum and Gold card. Everything mentioned here comes with the Platinum card. I highly recommend it. I would take the Black card just to find out the unknown benefits. However, I rarely use the platinum card benefits. BTW the Gold card 4x point system on gas, tech, restaurants, and a handful of other things, is a great benefit to have in your wallet. My businesses use it more than the platinum. If you spend $75k a year on platinum you get access to all Centurion lounges.
It’s a very American thing to get something that makes you feel important. When you drive a BMW you also have an access to a concierge 😂 Travelling on Delta with privileges, wow what an honor 😂😂😂 Now I want one 😂 especially since Seinfeld has one
they need to build credit score to have a card, that is not the case worldwide
Merchants don't like Amex vs visa or mastercard because Amex charges a higher Comission to the Merchant. It's also not as widely accepted world wide. It costs too much . Warren Buffest would never use one.
When Mercedes Mclaren was introduced for the first time in a car event, I asked the Mercedes guys if I could buy it right now, his answer: "Yes if you got an american express black" I was like sad face
I think he was pulling your leg. If you had produced the card, he would have lacked the means to process it. However, someone purchased a plane for USD 58 Mio, which was said to be the highest transaction down with a credit card (they say it was done with an AMEX Black Centurion).
Good video, but everything that was mentioned I already know and not that much different AMEX Platinum, I seen people who had the card and went back to Platinum and the reason the perks wasn't worth the price.
You slap that card down at Applebee’s to impress your baby momma’s. LoL
I had the gold card once upon a time. It was great for business travel, special lounges and free drinks and food. I was invited to get the platinum card but the yearly fee was $2500 so I passed. Didn't need whatever the extra perks were...
found one lying on my my Arab billionaire client's table I used to work with. He saw me look at it and I said wow, and he shrugged it off like its nothing hahaha
I've used my Black card everywhere I go. Some places actually give me grief and I'm being respectful of the establishment. It's either complete attention or none at all. 🎼 Chocolate rain 🎼...
The first time I saw one of these bad boys in person was when I was working at the Apple Store in Lenox Mall (Atlanta, Ga.) and T-Pain comes in needing to replace one of his Mac towers that bit it…I helped him customize his new machine and when it was time to pay, he whipped out the Black Card…$16K later he was happy. 😊
Thank you for sharing.
I was working at Party City many years ago when I saw my first black card. The owner was the nicest guy in the world but clearly was only there because he forgot someone's birthday 😅
Use to travel a lot. In Europe I. Would work out of Cambridge for four years. Always used AE. Arrived in Cambridge with practically no cash because I knew AE would supply it. Imagine my shock when the AE office had closed. An associate loaned me pounds to get to London and get some pounds. But since I totally relied on AE this trip was troublesome as other AE offices had also closed. Now I only use Schwab and Visa..
I had a former boss who had one. It's also made of metal, not plastic, and I've heard you have to have a million dollars liquid assets available, as one of the qualifications.
Awesome Video!
Thank you!
You get all these perks with the platinum card
This video was a great advert I need one now
Great video!
Thank you!
A friend of mine doesn't think the black card is worth it. They think the platinum is better especially when it comes to the much less annual fee.
Yea! The platinum card definitely has almost all the same benefits at a fraction of the cost!
@@BehindTheBusiness My friend thinks that all the Black Card is, is for FLEX
It’s a status symbol
@@jerryware1970 Someone actually gets it!

Great Video!
Thank you!
Which software do you use for editing
This video is an information fishing expedition, providing just enough interesting tidbits to loosen the lips of anyone that is in the know....
I got invited to apply for one about 15 years ago when my company was spending $250k a month on my platinum card but I seem to remember it was a MUCH bigger application/ initiation fee and $6,000 or $7,000 a year so I didn’t bother.
Absolutely, I would get one!
It’s going to be impossible to get one of these… but anyway thanks for the great video!
Thank you!
Nothing is impossible, i have it.
1:53 "AMAZON decided to capitalize on the rumors" nice Freudian slip !!
I would say that the Platinum is just like the Centurion and IF you know all the pros of the card you will enjoy as much! Obviously there is no Private Jet ride s are includes to Platinum but hey, If some one has the money to enjoy why Black? Platinum Amex has like 90% of the benefits and waaaaaaaay less fees! Your thoughts?
I have a black Amex card but it is not a Centurion card. It is the limited edition Delta Reserve card that is made from the skin of a 747 airliner. It is engraved with an image of a 747. The current perks justify the annual fee. However, the anticipated changes to Delta's Skymiles program may cause me to downgrade to a lesser card.
Looks like a great card. I hope someday 🙏 soon I can qualify to get this card. I am CEO and I spend around $1,000.000. Per year. Good luck all.
My grandad has one of these cards it’s a big flex😭
My sister's boss had one. He work or rather he had his "people" work on getting him one. It took a couple of months, be he got one. The man's sharp when it come to businesses. But in reality, he wanted one and got one for status reasons.
Funny how this videos appears on my feed and I just hit mine 2 weeks ago 🤣
I don't see the rumor mentioned about how the card came to be. In 1977 Craig Thomas wrote one of his spy thrillers, "FireFox." In one of the series' books, the American is trapped and being hunted in Russia. He goes to an airport and uses an AMEX Black Card. Using the card, he buys a jet and makes it to safety. Supposedly after people read the popular novel, there were people inquiring about obtaining a Black Card. It didn't exist, so AMEX saw a marketing opportunity. The only thing we do know is the Black Card was unheard of until Thomas' book.
I have 2 of this cards and one I m using when I shop to Lidl !
Excellent info!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video!
Thank You!
Previously people would see your card so it was a status symbol but the shopkeeper hardly ever sees it now as you either tap or enter a pin.Of the charge cards Amex did a silver,gold, platinum and black and i don't really see any advantage to extending beyond the silver as the fee for the platinum and black are very significant.Even the gold has about double the fee of the silver but then there is a huge jump between the gold and platinum.
Do they charge u for the concierge service?
Can’t wait for more videos!
Stay tuned! More to come very soon!
Sorry, my Platinum card has a bunch of awesome benefits & really, the Marriott? Yeah, that's high class right there. And I can pick up my own dry cleaning, thank you very much.
Listen at 1:54 into the video the announcer say's AMAZON by mistake not AMEX. I had one of these cards - the 3 Million points I used for travel - LV Luggage & Cash back. I sold my company and had no use for the card and I sold the unusable closed Centurion Card for $650 to an artist (He used it in a piece of Artwork)
Yeah a buddy of mine used his to call for a helicopter pick up on South Beach... It's kinda wild
1:55 "amazon"? these ai generated farm factory videos can't even get something so simple right.
I owned the Amex Black Card. They did invite me. I had it for awhile but I realized that having the Platinum Card was close to having the Black Card. Anyway. Plus your fees are a lot less than the Black Card. So I just switched to the Platinum Card. But I kept my Black Card as a souvenir. It is made out of titanium! Every time I pulled it out to a retailer they seemed impressed. Good way to meet women! 😎
And to think I was mailed this invite and I threw away the invite. I didn’t know what an honor this was…. Oh well
Ditto
1:55 "Amazon decided to" Sick research skills man.
If I won a lottery big dollar jackpot, I might consider it, but probably settle for the platinum or gold.
Yea platinum seems good enough!
My platinum card has just about all of these benefits including the Marriott and Hilton status as well as the concierge and the lounges and all that. I'm underwhelmed here. I'm assuming their concierge is better or whatever.
3:17 Although you can do that... it works a bit different... Amex has a set number of "concierge" per country, depending on how many black cards that country has... for example... austria has around 20±... meaning that there are around 5 that are available to be called at all times, not for dry-cleaning, but for basically all things that are exclusive for the top 1% and online based. There are times when tasks are done in person... however, that is not exactly how it works every time, as it is very expensive on Amex's side... and of course... capitalism and saving as much money as possible in such tasks.
The best part about the Amex black card is definitly the free lifetime apple care+ for every device bought with the card. Never needed to pay to get something from apple repaired... ever lol!
I have four different "black cards" from various banks. I still pay with my phone or Apple Watch🤣
I've a NAB black debit card - does that count?
Somebody had it in zim and i saw it last week and had no clue😂😂 i even touched it and thought it was just some weird metal bank card
Can we use apple pay with the black card?
I worked in Harrods for many years and have served many millionaires that paid with there Black Amex card how cool 😎
The most unique thing that I have ever seen purchased with the senator card. Was when I was at the local BMW dealership for service. His average looking guy was looking at an M7 BMW. I can’t remember what the sticker price was but it wasn’t cheap and he was looking at the one directly above it. He went on a test ride and both of them And he came back and the sales rep said. Which one do you like? He replied do you like the Alpena or Alpine? Version the best that has reached out as wallet people status center and handed to the guy. I think this will cover it. At that time themanager of this particular location came out, introduced himself and replied they’ll be no problem take care of the paperwork an hour later, the man drove off in his new BMW. Personally, I’ve had the platinum card and for me that would be fine.
I used to have one. So did my friends. We thought we were oh-so-cool. I still think I have a pic of us with our cards as a KZhead video thumbnail to be funny.
I was offered one - fantastic presentation, however I’m not sure it is worth it over and above what the platinum gives you, especially because of the fee
Same
I find it really funny that for its legendary greed, Disney doesn't offer a black Disney Visa that will allow users to get into any theme park free once a month and get all the perks of their lower level credit cards with it. I thought for a while that they would do this but so far, zip. Nothing.
Universal is also missing out on this. They should be offering a Wizarding World card that says "Gringotts Bank" and offers similar benefits. It still blows me away that neither is doing something like this, especially Disney. My debit/ATM card is a Disney card.
dang like maybe I should get this card for my self this black card is fasinating and I just can't get my mind off it but won't they charge you with a very high interest
When it first came in 90th it was really exclusive..nowdays alots of people have it..and the centurion service gotten worse then it was.
Gotten worse. How you know that ? Just asking for a friend, I’ll like you to explain how it’s gotten worse , about 95% of the people talking about the centurion card don’t have it ….Amex is a business that’s why amex double the fees for the card yet 100 of people is still trying to get into the club it’s not getting worse business is booming
