Default The VISA Black Card

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.

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.
