Centurion card holders

You got that right.

 

Now you can make your normal card look like a centurion card.

I'm noticing more and more places won't take amex, maybe I need a visa sticker for mine.

 

New business idea for PeterS - "wraps" for your credit card.

"Got a lowly green card? Transform it into a platinum with an easy-to-use vinyl applique that will impress teenage checkout workers (and middle aged folks who still work in retail). Only $9.95 for platinum, or $29.95 for premium black!"

 

I would do that at this point, membership cost for platinum are crazy, $450 a year!

Last I heard the black was 10k a year, thats nuts.

 

it is only 2500 a year

 

yup!

 

whats up Antony,
hope your doing well.

 

long time buddy, where you been?

I guess I just haven't been on fchat as much.

But every now and then I come on
and of course crack up to one of darths
comments.

 

actually the black is a $5000 fee + $2500 for the first year, so $7500 for year one then $2500/ year after that....i happily declined and am paying $450 for my platinum which has most of the same benefits, I don't need my ego stroked, although I won't like a friend of mine has the black and he slept with a very attractive waitress who wrote her number on his receipt after he paid for our lunch....this waitress didn't speak with him at all during lunch but after he paid he got numbers, i think she liked his personality.

 

She sounds classy!

What does the platinum and gold give you over the green?

I had my check card number taken somehow and used to buy things over the net. I didn't like a number attached to my money floating around out there. Ever since then I use my Amex green for everything.

 

I had a 'secondary' black card for a year (the membership costs $1250). I didn't ever really use it, and I only got upgraded to first class on one leg of one trip (which would be normal without any special card). I cancelled it, and the magnetic strip is placed over the metal card, but it must be very thin since I never noticed it.

He probably wrapped it in Electrical tape. LOL



I don't mind paying the yearly fees on my platinum/gold cards, as long as I get the insurance, and refund benefits I'm fine with it.

 

Does the amex platinum concierge even come close to the level of service that the centurion card offers? I've never bothered to use the platinum concierge but might use it to get tickets to a concert if they can get them.

 

...and you are man enough to admit it!

 

In my experience, they're very similar. They'll get you the tickets, but you'll pay through the nose for them.

 

What are the requirements to get a Black Card?

 

It used to be that you had to spend upwards of $150k per year on your regular Amex, and you had to be invited. I have no idea what the parameters are now.

What can I say...

You make it fun times!

 

Bringing this thread back from the dead ... Any Centurion or Palladium card folks located in the northeast?
