I just received my Black Card invite in the mail and went online for more info which brought me to this site. Have decided it is cheaper to “cut out” the cardboard card from the advertising and put it in my wallet to show all my friends. Might have to change my name to A.L. Taylor though! As the advertising states: “The World Awaits”

it’s a good deal if you travel a lot, but not always with the same airline, since you get lounge access. since most airport lounges have membership fees in the $450-500 range, this is like access to all of them for the price of one.

i think credit cards are evil. once i paid off all of my dept,(three cards and a car loan)i canceled all the credit cards and kept a Khols card that i use on rare occasions when they have special sales and i actually need something(like new shoes) and its worth putting it on the card and paying it off before the end of the month so i don’t get charged interest for it.

My Lord, that is hilarious. It’s funny to read things like that as a frugalite and realize how silly they are. It’s also sad because we all know someone who would get excited over Visa having this new “wonderful” card. How lame…

What a ridiculous card – you have to feel sorry for folks who only feel prestigious through their credit cards. $495 to indicate to the world that you’re a sucker!

A VISA black card!? Ha! Wonder if AmEx got a load of this?

The AmEx black card is almost mythical in stature (I’ve seen a lot in my neighborhood though, lots of doctors in my area). It (supposedly) requires a minimum $150K in charges on all your AmEx accounts combined, per year, three years in a row and then you might get an invite. The annual fee is thousands, and the initial fee is $10K.

This is a poor (but cheap!) imitation. The AmEx black card is something to ‘aspire’ to (if your aspirations lean that way).

Haha! I’m old enough to remember when the “gold” card was a big deal. Of course, when I started college in 1984, we didn’t even have ATMs that worked across county lines.
