Plus why have the platinum card you have to spend a certain amount of money a month on it to even keep it... LOL
    Yeah, this is true. I wanted to upgrade to a Black card, but I need to spend 250k to do it. The only way I can pull that off is to hand out Amex's to my employees, and even then, I'd be cutting it close, as only the executives (myself being one), spend enough money on them to really make a dent in it. I spend about 8k/month on my personal card, which isn't even CLOSE to what's needed.
    Anyway, our company just isn't structured like many other companies that have a massive expense accounts that encompass ALL the employees with card privileges. In the end, I didn't see how it was worth it, for anything other than bragging rights, as the only reason I wanted it was because my friends advertising firm had just gotten them, and when we were out of town, we got a lot of preferred treatment with them, lol.

    That right there, my friend, is where it is at... Me and my better half get alot of nice things from the points and the prefered stuff that is offered from this card. From plane flights to places to eat to concert tickets. But on the other hand they are not a very easy card to get neither.

    I was just thinking the same thing. I spend about $8K-$12K a month on my card and pay it off every month and I don't even have an unlimited card. My credit score is pretty good too.

    Maybe I should be like Thacker and live with my parents! Maybe then I could have a card with no limit!

    I bet he has the life sitting in his dads house in front of the computer in his underware, soda on the desk, world of warcraft on the monitor, and a 1 gallon jug of butt lube. SHAAAWEEET! Life is good.

    Theres really no point to a black card. U preferential treatment and have a concierge at ur service all the time. Plus u gotta spend the 250k a year and pay a yearly fee to have the card.

    The 24hr concierge is what I wanted, and the special benefits available to the select group of black card holders. The yearly fee is a wash, and inconsequential, and you only need to spend the 250k ONCE, you do not need to repeat it. Like I said, I spend around 8k/month on my personal credit cards, but my company card(s) have different usage patterns depending on what month it is, where I am, and what I'm doing. However, I would have to give Amex's out to all my employees to spend the 250k, because we don't generate the amount of expenses some other companies, like my friends media company does. We do the same amount of business, but we're not structured like they are, so it's harder for me to pull it off. The executives are really the only ones that spend money on expenses, where as companies like theirs, entertain more clients than we do on a normal basis.
