I had a customer today pay with a black credit card who has a very high dollar car. I have heard rumors about the card holders having unlimited spending power and needing to pay $2500 a year just to have the card. Does anyone know anything about them?

Yeah, my friend has one. It is American Express. Yes it is unlimited. He could walk in and buy a house and have it approved. It's pretty cool looking. I'm not sure about the annual fee though but the $2,500 sounds reasonable considering what it is. He's very proud of it - doesn't realize yet that that isn't important to me.

the international has a great variety of individuals who prefer to look this way or that for the duration of step with what they dirve, the variety of outfits they positioned on, what cc they create, and so on. the attempt to realize a "status image" is approximately as previous as mankind. the guy flashing his black card replaced into needless to say happy together with his "status image". He would desire to be quite happy with himself and feels the would desire to instruct others how properly he has performed and how lots credit he has. He strives to be the %.-setter interior the 'conserving up with the Joneses' race. maximum individuals recognize (despite the fact that if we overlook on occasion) who or what you're isn't indicated via the motor vehicle youpersistent, or the credit card you carry. i recognize individuals whopersistent superb vehicles and others whopersistent beaters. the motor vehicle has no longer something to do with what style of person they are. There are reliable people and not-so-reliable people in each and each set. comparable take care of credit enjoying cards or different status symbols. ... There are people for whom "status" is a sizeable deal and who desire issues that represent and "instruct" that they have some point of "status"- - and those for whom it is not significant. I won't say if I even have credit enjoying cards or what colour they are. It does no longer count. i'm no longer happier or extra content cloth for having extra, or much less, credit. The credit card I carry does no longer provide me extra understanding or extra helpful wellness. i do no longer notice what style of card somebody pulls out of their wallet or handbag. It does not result my temper. i'm helpful I even have considered people who flash enjoying cards like they count. I basically could no longer factor out an occasion. ... Take a deep breath and overlook the guy with the black card. It replaced right into a non-adventure. easy as that.

I don't know about all that. I have a Visa that's black... but believe me, I'm nowhere near wealthy! And I pay NOTHING for annual dues, either.

They have no spending limit, and you have to be invited to have the card. All the celebrities have them.
