The VISA Black Card

fasternyou929 · 07-25-2009, 06:49 PM

Anybody else get an "invitation" to apply for this? Looks like they're targeting AmEx with this and they even have an annual fee of $495.

But it is a "carbon card, patent pending", so it's got that going for it.

My father got one, except he is currently unemployed

Yeah, they are trying to trick people into thinking it's the AMEX black card... I got one too.

Isn't that the card where you can pretty much buy a Bugati with no questions?

And what can a AMEX WHITE card get you???

yeah, it's an invitation only card. It's got a $2500 annual fee and you can pretty much buy anything you want with it.

Anybody can get it. You just need to spend $250,000+ annually on your current AmEx card for a few years.

Most people, including myself, would agree with you. There are a few people though who will gladly pay a fee to avoid dealing with a credit limit on a card.
