    and a $5000 sign-up fee, and you gotta spend at least 250k/yr on the card.

    but its made of titanium and gets you to the front of the line at restaurants with a quick phone call

    It's actually called the Centurion Card...

    I'd post a picture of mine, but in a sort of ironic mirror universe kind of way, even the most expensive camera I can find locally is actually not valuable enough for me to buy with the card and the transaction will be declined.

    You really have to be buying a lear jet or a small country for it to work.

    So what's the deal with these? Just an easy way for really rich people to buy things? I thought you couldn't even buy a car with a credit card anyways...

    I have millionaires and billionaires coming through my office all the time putting large amounts on their credit cards. I have yet to see a black amex... Most people with money are smart enough not to piss it away on outrageous signup fees.

    You can buy a car with a credit card if the dealer is willing to let you do it.

    I'm sure there's something more prestige that we don't know of, just wait for 89coupe's reply he should know more about this stuff.

    The black card is more of a status symbol than anything, the benefits really aren't worth the 2500 a year unless you travel a lot.

    you can. the most expensive purchase on an amex was a $52 million private jet or something. people buy luxury cars, houses, jets, etc all the time.

    its mostly a status symbol but it has some pretty good benefits. used to be invite only, but now if you spend 250k/yr and have good credit, you can call them up and ask for one. otherwise you have to be a celebrity or get their attention somehow. but showing it at most airlines and high-end hotels gets you an instant upgrade, which can be worth like $500/night, so it's not hard to make up for the fees.

    someone lost theirs recently

    Well users of Amex Black, get free upgrade to first class on any airline they want. That right there has paid for your initiation fee
