Only a handfull of people have been issued a Black AMEX card.

These are the kind of people of wealth that can buy an Island and use this card to pay for it. it hasn't any credit line limit.

You can't apply for this card.
The card is issued by invite ONLY.

Some examples. Ophra Winfrey, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Sir Richard Branson and the like.

If your a multi millionaire you won't qualify and won't be asked.

Banks have to pay off all those bad loans somehow, as if they were marked to market most major banks would be insolvent. What better way to do it than aggressively market more debt to the consumer.

PD

Ah ah, I said not AS exclusive as it USED to be. It used to be limited to just a handful of people like Bill Gates, et al. Now they're not as rare as that. My friend owns his own financial firm so he makes that sort of money and pays for things with his Amex Black card exclusively. He's definitely very wealthy, but not on the list of Forbes multi-billionaires.

My girlfriend's a bartender and sees them. Not every day, but she says she does see them here and there.

Didn't you know... Black is the in thing now.

Ever since Obama became Prez, almost everyone has a new black best friend or always had one.

If it's enough to qualify you for one of them cards then your parents are obviously mega rich

Heh, for the amount of fees required on those cards one may as well hire bodyguards and carry cold hard cash.
