Simon Katz here! Today is a nice day to review the hardest Credit Card to get. We are talking about the celebrity credit card or one the big shots have in their wallet - The Amex Black Card. The American Express Centurion, also known as the Black Card, is my proffered card when I am shopping or dining out.
It offers a lot of perks as well. Check out my review of the Amex Black Card. As an actual member, I have used this card for over 10 years and I go over the changes made to the credit card, the design changes from the previous Centurion Card, and also what it takes to have this card.
The benefits are intense, to say the least. This card is meant for the top credit card enthusiasts and truly for the 1% of Society. I hope you enjoy the review.

My best black card story is when I was checking in a guest at the hotel I worked at, he hands me an AMEX black card and I'm impressed by how cool the card is and I ask him "how do you get this card", he replies "you have to have a lot of money"...years later I saw that same man on TV, it was Steve Wozniak.

Steve Wozniak seems to love talking with people at Hotels. I worked at a hotel in a Midwest college town and he'd tip with $2 bills and paid a valet to wash a Tesla. Super easy guy to talk to.
I honestly just respect the honest statement of, “The Amex Centurion Black Card makes you feel like a baller.” This really is a niche card that I likely won’t qualify for, but it’s loads of fun to hear about it from a real user, especially someone that worked for it! Awesome video!

The first time I saw this card, I was a bank teller maybe 6 months in. 22 years old. A senior teller saw it, came over and told me to basically action anything they wanted as they were private banking status. They didn't even need to stand in a public line. They just liked being social! - Nice people. Some people floss, some people like blending in!

I can feel how great it'd feel to hold that card. I started my Credit Card journey like 1 year back. Centurion card has always been my Dream Credit card. It comes with a joining fee of almost 8000$ and annual charges of 3500$ (direct conversion from my currency). I'm slowly climbing to the Credit Card line. Getting hold of the premium cards, and few super-premium cards slowly. Have the road map to get that earning potential to get hold of that Centurion card in next 4 or max 5 years. Thanks for inspiration! Not going to give up on my dreams :) Btw subbed! :)

I had mine since mid-90s .. canceled it last month. The yearly fee was increased from $2500 a year to $5000... I could afford it but could not justify $400 a month to carry their charge card on me.

It’s really designed for people who aren’t worried about the fee and expect service on another level. For sure, that $15k can be used for other things. If you only have $15 or even $100k this isn’t a good card to have at all. You won’t use its benefits anyway for what it was designed to do.

Centurion card is cool but for most people it simply wouldn't be logical to have a card that costs 5k per year, while they might spend that same amount of money on their actual purchasing. For me right now; I'm happy with my Gold Card and it has everything I need. Before that, I used the (sort-of-free) Blue Card to see what it's like to be an AMEX member and test some of the features and benefits. I'd only upgrade to Platinum if I spend enough so that my point earnings will roughly cover the card fee, and it becomes a more or less free solution.

Interesting when I got my Centurion in the 90’s It was invite only. A black box arrived ( I still have the box) invite inside., the tout was the rumours are true. There was no joining fee, if it had a spend limit I was not aware of it.. Service has varied through the years now there is a very heavy emphasis on building up a relationship with your relationship manager who is like your go to for everything.. that has pluses and minuses as well.

AMEX was pushing me in a friendly way to get the Centurion card. I didn’t want to be bothered with paying the fee and then trying to figure out the points system to get a better bang for my buck. I can usually find a good deal on my own. I loved watching this video but I don’t want the black card.

But let me tell you that card really helped me out with a lot of different connections I made at the lounges At the airport and such.

Hi Simon Katz, this is the by far the best video I’ve seen on Black Card. Quick question: if I was to get Billy MacFarland’s scammy Magnises black card, would that be the same thing as a black card? I know his company is defunct and he’s in jail but he claims that Magnises is the black card for millennials that can’t afford the real black card. I plan on using it to buy some Fyre Festival tickets. Would this be a good idea? Please help. Thanks.

I think there is only one true black card. It’s the Amex.
I aspire to be so rich that I dont have to blur out the card number of my credit card in a KZread video.

Thank you Sir,
In 25 years I’ve only disputed one fraudulent charge and never disputed a merchant for non-performance. How often are you disputing charges that it’s one of the better benefits of the black card?
@SimonKatzShow

It really depends on how many changes a person has. If you have a lot of charges, you may have some disputes. Disputes aren’t necessarily frauds but say you paid for something and someone didn’t deliver or paid for designs and they weren’t good and provider refused to refund you. Etc.

One example was I hired an architect firm that turned out to not do anything but the contract was signed with no refunds. The initial payment was $13,500 which was the disputed amount and Amex quickly refunded me after that firm held my money for several months without refund through the chargeback process.
I have a blue everyday cash card. I am humbled now.

I still have my blue card too! It’s a good starter card.
I believe that annual expenses are highly more than what you actually get. Ok it’s definitely cool to have a black card and all the lounges with champagne… but is it really convenient? Nice video by the way!

I’ve never had credit but I can’t seem to get it. I’m obviously not close to one of these, but what should I do to begin my credit journey? :/ thanks for the video fellow MOT
One fine day 💪🏻

I wonder which credit card is more prestigious: The AmEx Black Card or the Carte Blanche Card. Believe it or not, there’s still some countries that offer the Carte Blanche card as an invitation only card.
I just take my AmEx green card and get a black Sharpie out and color it all up till two completely back it's about the same thing as the AmEx Centurion card

Or what you can do is pay one of those chip and magstripe extraction guys to extract the chip and magstripe off your card and put it on the centurion. Now when the cashier runs it it’ll still say American Express on the receipt and none will be the wiser 😝💪

@@CityLifeinAmerica I think they actually do that on Ebay or some website. I never been a fan of fake and would just stick with the Amex Platinum instead.
Hi there! How long / how many days did it take for you to receive the card via delivery (if it was delivered)? Cheers

Once approved a few days. However, right now they cannot get boxes for presentation with the card because of the Coronavirus closures and limited production so if you just got approved it may take a bit more time. This is from my account manager.

which design do you prefer? i prefer the previous one as it looks a lot more prestigious. it has that wow factor whereas the new one just looks like a cool credit card.

I like both designs. The new design has a modern feel to it but I miss the weight of the older style. It was more hefty and felt great in hand.
I just got a job as travel and leisure manager for Amex Black so this will be interesting.

So if you get the Centerion card but your spending level drops below a certain threshold will Amex drop you from the Centerion card?
@SimonKatzShow

I don’t think they will drop you. My spending has not dropped below the 250k ever but I don’t think it matters. They want you to pay the hefty $5k annual fee. They and every bank cancel your membership at any time. For any reason.
