IBIZA ( Spain): Salinas Beach.
Next to me a guy paid his bill with it…When I saw it…not imagine what a feeling I had…sorry but do not know his name but he’s from NYC.

My boss Danny has a Amex Black Business card

NOTE:- Most of those 17,000 people are from out side the US. Unanimous person reported that more than half of the Black Card members are from Middle East or Asia. Less 10% from US and Five from Canada and Rest form Europe.

I know some rich family from Indonesia has it. Like the Bakrie brothers, for example.. they has an Amex Black Card and the gold card who accompanies the black one. i think it’s the preffered card or something like that.

Why is everyone on the list black? I know a few people with this card, none of which are minorities.

jessica simpson has it. she showed it on camera in her mtv reality show with her ex nick lachey

Thank you, you’re right. I have added her to the list.

Pop artist Shane (rockshane.com) has a Centurion card. He has used it, rather comically at one point, on his reality show.

I work at Best Buy and I rang someone up for two PS3s whom had one. Very impressive to hold it.

i actually held it. i work at a theatre and this lady bought tickets for her and her kids. she passed it over to me like it was nothing. it felt like stone at first, and at the time i didn’t realize the severe rarity of the card. it was a privilage just to be able to touch one =]

I work at a book store on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City and I see them occasionally. Here are the ones I remember.

Joyce Hall (Hallmark)
John Dunn (J.E. Dunn)
Nickoli Bloch (HR Block)
Shane Ross (Casemoe)
Merideth Goins (Casemoe)
Dr. John Daddle (Plastic Surgeon)

I just checked a guy into the hotel where I work with one. No names, because I have all of that information, however it was extremely impressive. He tapped it on the counter, and you can hear the thud of it.

I am doing research about them now, and found this site.

For that reason, I am posting about it.

One of my friends’ dad has it, we went out for dinner in London for her birthday and at the end he paid with the black AMEX. We are from Greece but live in London.

Robert Kyosaki of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He flashed it and boasted about it during a millionaires’ forum on CNBC last month (Aug 2007).

good find on robert kiyosaki

i have one!

Ian Thorpe has one

AKON has one

Hi, was just looking to log into my account to pay my bill and I got onto this by mistake. I think perhaps I am missing out as I have one, had it for about 9 years and mine is not titanium and its definatley the real macoy, got delivered in a leather box with black ribbons. Please could someone tell me where this titanuim thing came from.. i might need to upgrade!!

tommy hilfiger.
came into the store i worked at two years ago and bought a couple sweatshirts. nuts!

I had a guest at my hotel use one. Not any high end hotel either, just a Holiday Inn Express. He slid it over the counter so no one would see it. Very nice family. I’m sure the people that have one worked hard to achieve this status.

I work at a camera store and see them a couple times a year, in fact i saw two of them last month. Why is it so amazing?

You have to charge at least $250k a year to an Amex platinum card and be a member for at least a year, according to both of the guys i talked to.

Prince Frederick of Denmark has one - I remember hearing Princess Mary talk about it when they asked how she met him. Apparently she had no idea who he was, chatting to him at the bar, and the bartender gently tapped her on the shoulder and said ‘do you know who you’re talking to? This guy has an AMEX black.’

Gilbert Arenas has one. A Wizards player complained in the Washington Post about Gil throwing it down on the floor of the locker room, bragging that he has it. I guess he has done this several times & the stunt was getting old.

I saw Greg Welterolf of greg welterolf world wide a advertising king for kubota use one

I am a bartender in Charlotte and there is a guy that has THE BLACK CARD. He is a great tipper. He tipped 100.00 on a 60.00 tab. Another friend of mine said he come in to PF Changs and tipped large also. He goes by the Name - KC or K-Train. Very rare to see the Black Card.

Nice find on Gilbert Arenas, he has been added. Keep the people coming, I like the stories too.

Doesn’t it say you’re a bit sad if you need to boast about your American Express card, a la Robert Kyosaki? Amex have done wonders in that by giving out no information they have people falling over themselves to get one. Despite the hype they aren’t really that hard to earn. If you are a regular business traveller who charges to your own card, or you own a small business getting to $250k a year isn’t really hard.

john mayer has one. he tried to buy stuff at circuit but didn’t have ID, and the clerk didn’t recognize him at first.
source: us weekly

On September 29, Mayer, 29, and his new girlfriend, Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly, 27, picked out $400 worth of goods at Circuit City in Santa Monica, California. But when the crooner went to pay with his American Express Black Card, the clerk — who didn’t recognize Mayer — asked to see an ID, an eyewitness tells Us Weekly. After Mayer said, “I actually lost my ID and don’t have one,” the clerk “advised John he would not be able to buy anything.” Says the observer, “John was so embarrassed. Minka was smiling and giggling and rubbed his back in support.” Eventually, the clerk recognized him, approved the purchase and apologized profusely. Says the onlooker, “John and Minka laughed and said it was no big deal before they paid and left the store holding hands.”

Ed Snider- Chariman, Comcast-Spectator has one. I work at an exclusive mens clothing store, and he comes in on occasion.

Good find on John Mayer, that was reported just last week. I have added him to the list.

John McCain has one

Does anyone have an internal peace about them that only a relationship with god can bring. Money and stuff is great while your on earth, but you can’t take a Uhaul into the afterlife. I am not speaking to the people who don’t believe in God or eternal destination. but to those who do, remember that. If money is the goal we are all pursing, then we have some problems. look at card holder brittney spears, so she has a black card, but she has said that she is one of the most un-happy people in the world. The bible says, “the ways or the world will wither away, but the word of the last lasts forever” I’m not trying to condem anyone, or say money is bad, cause it isn’t, buit when we make it a priority over stuff, it becomes bad.
said in much love, and not passing judgement, speaking truth that has been passed to me!!
Seth

Chad Kruger from Nickleback
real name being Chad Thorton
Came into strip club in Vancouver, I was bartending there
the card said
Chad Thorton
Nickleback Inc.

i was working as a waiter and twice have i had it used. the first time i thought the dude gave me a lot of coins because of the weight but nope it was a middleastrn man and then the second time it was a pompus white dude with an Ferrari. i saw him leave. he gave me the card at the start of the meal so i held it for like 2 hours.

I work for my father in-laws construction company and AM-EX just called and offered him one so i was doing some research to find out about it and ran across this site. I don’t get it what’s the big deal with this card, everyone is like ” oh my gosh i seen one or i got to touch one”

it is mostly just a status symbol,though it does have some good perks. Welcome to the site

I work at a hotel and have been handed it twice, yeah it’s thick heavy metal-like

Also, Ice Cube has one. I was flipping through channels and they showed it on that Chris Angel Mindfreak show. Chris pulled it out of his own pocket somehow.

I’ve just met probably the youngest Centurion American Express Card Holder she was not more than 18 or 20 yo. She paid for some parts for her dad’s Ferrari at our dealership in Houston. Her name is Andrea J. Pons, it was impressive to see a young girl handed it over to me. more impressive was to see she had at least 3 Amex Platinum 2 Golds and several Platinum Visa and MC in her wallet. I’ve seen just seen another Black American Express cardholder and it was a 60 yo guy from NYC. I just wonder who’s the father of this girl?

You’re right about Ice Cube, here is a link to the video of the card trick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PciL0p5fDA

Scott storch…the beat guy has one…Used it at my place in South Florida!

Tom Smith (Taser CEO)
Luis Gonzalez (Dodgers)
Jason Kidd (Nets)

The was a guy named John Patterson a couple of weeks ago in the bar I work at in Chicago that had one (he was from CT according to his license). It was pretty cool. The cocktail waitresses were all making comments about slipping him their phone numbers.

I have one.

I work at Morton’s Steakhouse as a server, I see AMEX Black all the time. OJ Simpson does not have one, but he did get a BJ in the parking lot. That dude is a chick magnet, it is disgusting.

Demarcus Ware doesn’t have one.
No one on the New Orleans Saints had one (Reggie Bush wasn’t there, but all the other big names were).
Roger Goodell has one, he is a good tipper too, like 30%.
Hillary Clinton was in earlier this month, payment was arranged in advance. It was an amex, and I bet that thing was black.

my dad has one we live in coto de caza a gated community in orange county its a very excluded area home to a bunch if retired athlets and also homee to the house wives of orange county

I have a black card

Michael Jackson obviously has one or possiby more , i had seen a docu whit him where he whas in a rolex store and gave the man that card.

I have one! For Realz

yeah, my dad and I have it to. They are cool. It kinda anoying thou cuz people will look at u and say stuff like “I wish i was as important as you”. Its also expensive. (1.5 g’s annual)

Some chick just paid for chocolate with one in front of me at Panache on the Plaza! She had to have been 6′ tall about 120 pounds bout 24yo ….. looked like a Victoriasecrect Model! Got into a white s500 benz and burnt out yo.

I was reading the comments 2 weeks a go and caught my attention the one of the young girl in Houston. Well she was here in Miami few days a go. She bought a watch, that’s not special, (even if the price was 9000) the surprising thing it’s that she’s 16 not 18 or 20. I got a copy of the card for security proposes since we couldn’t believe she was the cardholder and obviously she didn’t have a valid Id (she is not American) She got a little upset when we asked for the Id, so she showed a wallet full of credit cards on her name, And surprise! she had another black Amex card, different number, she also had 5 different platinum Amex cards, 2 Amex gold, one green, another black card from a bank, and not less than 10 other bank cards, we were shocked at the store. 10 minutes Later the father showed up he’s late 30’s early 40’s, nice looking and he drives a beutiful lamborghini (He parked in front of the store) He seemed like a loving father. I’ve seen them both walking with shopping bags by Lincoln Rd. a couple of times after that day. I can send the copy of the card if you tell me how to do it and if it’s not against the law.

PS
Now we know the father have a Ferrari and a Lamborghini And girls.., he’s probably single! (no ring, and no wife / girlfriend around )

I would advise not posting too personal of information, such as a person’s card, address, personal contact info, etc.

I used to work in the Forum Shops at Ceasar’s Palace in Vegas. We’d have high rollers come in all the time and use their AmEx Black. Largest purchase was $120,000 by Japanese Royalty and her entourage.

I work at a restaurant in newburgh NY I was at the bar and one of the waiters asked me to charge a bill for his customer and when he handed me the card it was thick a little heavier than usual and all black.. I dont know if it was a black card but it sure didnt seem like a regular credit card…

Streisand has one… She uses it regularly in town

Iv witnessed/parties with a person 19yr old at bars in a college town, no big deal at all. Father was a global telec. ceo. Iv bought a round of drinks with it, 3 well vodka tonics!

Shak has one, he was just on west coast customs and bought five cars with it.

my mum and dad both have the card.
the annual fee in Australia is $3900 and the limit does not depend on your income. there is no limit. it also is not a Credit card. its a charge card, meaning you have to pay the bill at the end of the month.
and there is alot more than 17000 people which have it.

You think Bill Gates may have one?

Jevon kearse has one, he was waited on at a TGI fridays in NJ

I’m a waiter in Beaumont, Texas and I work at a “high-class” bar and grill called Madison’s and I’ve seen 6 American Express “Black Cards” and I personally know 2 of the people who own them and it really isn’t a big deal if someone owns one. To tell you the truth, it’s a waste on $2,500 a year for the annual fee, when you could just get an AMEX Platinum Card and pay much much less a year and have pretty much the same benefits.

Shaquille O’Neal has one, he paid with it on the TLC show hot rides, he bought 3 o4 4 cars totalling 1.2 million on a single charge

Famed rock star Marilyn Manson also has a Centurion “Black Amex”. He pulled it out during a radio interview a few years back. His card is embossed with his legal name Brian H Warner.

Millionaire entrepreneurs Joshua Gilson (CTO) and Christopher Hall (COO) of Vitelity Communications have been seen with the card. They come into the starbucks I work at regularly and pay with their cards.

Bono has one…

I know this Italian-Cuban woman that has one. Isabella is very generous and wonderful, she does not show it around.

My parents have them. Its no big deal but it is soo cool to go to saks with it. Me and my mom have similar names so they just think its mine when i show my id

it’s so cool. if u ever get ur hands on one, flop in on like a table or something. it doesnt bounce or anything it just like slaps down on the table because its so heavy

I Have 1 !! Best think EVER invented !
I use it EVERYWHERE!
It was a gift from my daddy for my 16th Birthday !

The ONLY requirements to get the card are: (1) good credit rating, (2) platinum card member for at least one year, and (3) a spending level on the card of at least $250,000 during the past year.
I just got mine, primarily for the extra travel benefits. Since many of these benefits are also available with the platinum card, I am not sure the extra fee is worth it (although it really does look good). The idea however of having spent $250,000 on Amex last year scares me a little.

I work at the Dior store in Beverly Hills. I’ve come across many celebrities who had this “AMEX Black Card”

As you’ve already listed,

Beyonce, Kayne West & Lionel Richie

Victoria Beckham, Pamela Anderson, Tyra Banks, Madonna, Halle Berry, Nicki Hilton, Foxy Brown, Quincy Jones, Kate Moss, Samuel L Jackson, and if I can think of others, i’ll post but these celebrities I listed have been to the store frequently & have made high purchases.

HAHA 250K A YEAR? I GUESS I JUST STICK WITH MY BANK OF AMERICA CREDIT DEBIT CARD……WORKS JUST AS WELL….AND ITS BLACK

YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE A HISTORY OF SPENDING $250,000 AND A PLATINUM CARD PRIOR. IF YOU MAKE A FORTUNE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE A PHONE CALL.

my father has a black card i never relized how special it is (lol) he uses it to pay for everything even at 7 eleven

I work for Enterprise Rent a Car and some customer who owned a small buisness had one.It felt really good to hold it.It was so cold.

bill gates maybe? but than again he may not need one

DON’T KNOW WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS, EVERY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY GOT ONE FOR THEIR 18TH BIRTHDAY. I HAVE PROBLEMS TRYING TO WORK UP A 250K CHARGE, ANYONE WANNA HIT MADISON AVE FOR A GOOD TIME…..

I had a client use his card to pay for his Thanksgiving turkey. The card was not nearly as impressive as this gentleman’s calm demeanor, maturity, and professional nature when he had to return the turkey he purchased in order to get the correct bird due to the fact we had another customer of the same name on our reservation form. Client name withheld for confidentiality. I’m not even sure who he is. I do find it interesting that the majority of those named are all “new” entertainment money, not what most people think of as a picture of sophistication.

I work at the Gucci store at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta. This past weekend a couple came in and the guy purchased his young wife (I think she was, they both had rings) a very expensive Gucci bag. He used his Black Amex to pay the bill. I had to enter the numbers by hand because the card wouldn’t fit in the swipe machine. I found out he is some local fashion photographer (how does a bum-looking photographer makes enough to get that card). He had a really cool sounding name that really stood out on the card (Initials were TA-M).

I’ve got one and although the card looks pretty, its a piece of crap service that I wouldn’t recommend to anybody.

My friends parents use it for everything! its silly ….

I remember hearing Don Imus talk about donating 250K on his Black AE to the Fallen Heroes fund, so he has one.

I have one. Live in Houston.

I was at a strip club with some guys, and the dude next to us handed his to the waitress and she almost fell over. She was scared to take it to the bar, was like ” uuh uh.. I’ve never seen one of these before, its so heavy…” Anyways, seems like theres a lot of people with them

My father has one. He won’t let me have one. I think more people have it than they advertise.

I spent 430,000lbs so far this year and 760,000 last year, and I used my AMEX UK Gold, yet know one at AMEX has sent me an invitation to apply. It cant be an American thing because my Aunt Fergie has one

#54 on the forun is Merideth Goins (Casemoe), Shane Ross’ girl.

Im from Perth Aust. My former boss has one. He just called Amex and said he wanted to spend about 300k a year asked for a Black card so they said he could have . It arrived in a nice black box with bits and pieces. The best thing is you get free business class upgrades on quite a few airlines(not quantas !) and lounge access

Kyle Sandilands ( a judge on Aust Idol) flashed his black Amex on national TV (in 2006) offering to buy one of the contestants a new outfit. The host (Andy G) told him to stop flashing and to put away his PLATINUM card (quite funny) though it was clearly a Black Amex.

PLATINUM is the way to go! Didn’t you know that one ounce of PLATINUM is worth more than one ounce of TITANIUM??

Warren Buffett…

oh thats right, he just owns 10% of the company that gives it to all these mugs!

my mom has had the platinum card for 10 years now… she pays for everything with it… the benefits are awesome (and she has no spending limit!).. pretty much the same as the black, but you get to pay less for the annual fee… i bet you the annual fee increase for the black is the pure enjoyment for being able to say that you have one!!

I work @ the 5th Avenue Apple Store in NY and i see atleast 2-3 customersdaily with the centurion card, there has got to be more then 17000 cards out in circulation

Artist & music producer Ryan Leslie

I was in a deli at DFW airport in Dallas, TX yesterday & a very plain looking woman in jeans & a t-shirt paid for her sandwhich & tea (maybe $6) with an am ex black card. I was very intrigued since I have heard about how prestigous this card is. She asked the server if she could put a tip on the card for her & the server replied, No ‘mam. So she pulled her LV wallet from her LV purse & dug through a large wad of cash to place a tip into the tip jar. Like I said, I was very intrigued since she was very plain & simple looking & went straight to the internet to research this card more & that led me to this site.

I don’t see what the big deal about these is. I have been a business platinum cardholder for a few years and ever since my first year I have been offered one. We spend an average of 30-50k a month on the card, mostly for business supplied. I’m just too cheap to pay the 5k initiation fee and $2500 annual fee when my platinum gets me everything I need for only $395. And btw, I’m 25 so age and social status are not a factor. Spending history and credit score are all they care about.

Kimmora Lee Simmons has one.

DonMarieo has a AMEX BLK Card

Justin Gomolka (CEO Gomvents Corp.)

I’m a waitress at an upscale Las Vegas restaurant.

He’s a big tipper and has a really pretty wife

amex gift card

Nice Theme! Will comment..

I work in a 4 star Chicago hotel, and run into a black card every couple of months. Although I would never name a guest who presented a card, I can tell you that I didn’t feel bad for charging one of them $14 for a tuna salad on wheat. He didn’t want the sushi grade ahi, seared to perfection. He asked for the canned. Also the tuna salad came from the employee cafeteria. How’s that for special treatment?

Also, I personally think the card is too heavy to have been made of titanium, which I’ve always experienced to be a very light metal. I did ask tuna salad man, and he said platinum. Pretty sure that one was a joke.

Jessie

Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts !

I saw someone in chicago with one yesterday.

Centurion Cards are a norm for me and my friends…we are 18/19 so anything we want while shopping at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta, we swipe. Its better than my Bank Cards, at least i get points.

and plus the 5k enrollment fee and 2500 annual fee is pocket change, why do people complain?

a few months ago I checked out ot the “Le Meridien” in Hong Kong and at the counter next to me an American businessman payed his bill with it. Was pretty cool and impressing.

I’ve seen at least 25 black cards in the last 3 years, probably about 45-50 in my life. The first time I saw one (about 1996) I didn’t know what it was. I was a busboy at The country Club resteraunt. One of the waiters asked me if I could run it and take it back to their table. (He thought they were some dead beats by the way they were dressed) I could not swipe it because it didn’t it in cc machine. I asked the manager “What should I do” He said “Do you know what this is?” I didn’t so he explained it to me. A few days later a found out he also had one, he took all the employees out to dinner at another place. This past year I worked in what is one of the top 5 hotels and had a bunch of guests pay with it. Brad Penny from the L.A. Dodgers has one. Also Pharrel the producer. He shows it in Slim Thug’s video “I aint heard of that”

Laguna Beach plastic surgeon Daniel C. Mills also has one.

gosh its no big deal it just a small piece of metal ( yes i know my neighbor has one) but i really dont see why every one is makin a big fuss over the”BLACK CARD” my platinum will do me just fine

the guys that started http://www.smokinaphattie.com have one…believe it or not..all of there crazy entertainment is paid with the black card.

Damon Wayans has one. I was in the NBA Store in
New York City. I was going to the counter and Damon
was in front of me buying Lebron James Jersey. He pulled
the CARD out of his pocket and through it on the counter.
I love that card. Asked him for a picture and he obliged.
NiceGuy w/ a classy card.

You can assume that anyone that endorses Amex (Ellen D, Tina Fey, etc.) all have Black Cards. I also read that Amex Board of Directors get a Black Card with the first year’s fee paid.

Tyler Dikman has one, here is a link for proof.
http://www.johnchow.com/the-ultimate-bling-black-amex-centurion/
There are some really nice large, clear photos of Tyler’s card on this link too. Enjoy, and please add him to the list. :o)

I live in NYC and have a black card. I have to know 100 people who have it and see them all the time. There is DEFINITELY more than 17k people with it!!! Amex has some great marketers having us believe the supply is limited. They have perfected the status symbol business model.

As for the card - anyone who tells you the reason they have it other than for show/ego is delusional. As many other posters mentioned the benefits are VERY similar to platinum.

I’m still waiting to see Tyler Dikman on the list of cardholders. Look at my very last post with the link, thank you.

Once Tyler has a Wikipedia page I will think about adding him. This list is not supposed to be a list of everyone that has one

Ok, I understand. He is somewhat of an entrepreunural-celebrity, but I guess no one made a wikipedia add about him yet, lol. Anyway, no problem. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! Bye.

-Eddie :o)

im a dancer at the hustler club in new orleans, and this movie prducer guy stops me in my tracks and puts his black card in my face and is like..”here, my friend gave me this” so i passed him by.
i turned back around and stopped in front of him and said”its plastic.” he got all pissy and starts telling me to hold it. i did and its pretty heavy, but i see the damn card like every nite..IM A STRIPPER!, so im like ok..so what? then he surprised me he pulled out a RED AMEX. TIMBALAND dont even have that one. he said so. lmao!

Yeah, Bono was promoting a red AMEX charge-card a year or two ago. It was for something along the lines of famine relief in African; But haven’t heard anything about it since.

:o)

i heard madonna has one however i heard that she and michael jackson do not have a “black card” but instead have a special one made for only them. a “white card” i am trying to find it online but so far no luck. does anyone here know of the same rumor?

I know this is a little off the subject, but here’s an official link for more info on the AMEX Red card. http://www.americanexpress.com/pes/uk/benefits/red/microsite/index.shtml

I think the link i recently left is based out of the United Kingdom. Not sure if the red card is offered here in the U.S.

-Eddie :o)

Cindy Grines Has one, She is a world renown heart surgeon.

tiger woods
ellen degeneres
robert deniro
donald trump
nick lachey did have one.. until he got divored to jessica, he was taken back down to a platinum.

ps. the only red card is the amex plum business card or the one being advertised by Bono for aids a while back, but the Black card is still the most high end and exclusive. i would know because i work for Centurion.

all yall b**ches are fake and I have one and I just got back from SAKS and Jacob tha Jeweler. And I spent about $25,000 just 2day and I own 2 Lambos and a Ferrari Enzo

I am currently an AMEX-Black cardholder. My firm does plenty of research on fraud for such cardholders. It is funny there is a site designated to the card; and because of that I will share a few things I know. The card can still be made of plastic and originally was. There are; however, several clients that want to be set apart from the “regular” population, hence the Titanium material used. Truth has it that if you are really a big-shot AMEX will make you any card you like. I currently make very large purchases that require the merchant codes that the stripe carries. I would be extremely embarrased if I had to show that everytime I traveled. There are a lot of pretentious people, like the majority of the list above, that feel they don’t receive adequate respect just by being who they are. Part of the persona is to make others feel in awe of them. By the way Bill Gates and Donald Trump, two men I have done work for, think the card is not for them.

Michael says “By the way Bill Gates and Donald Trump, two men I have done work for, think the card is not for them.”
…So does that mean they do not carry the centurion card?

Also, (I don’t have physical proof for this one,) but a friend of mine’s mother did p.r. work a few years ago for Wil Smith and he allegedly showed it (centurion card) to her at some point during their work together.

-Eddie :o)

“The card can still be made of plastic and originally was. There are; however, several clients that want to be set apart from the “regular” population, hence the Titanium material used. Truth has it that if you are really a big-shot AMEX will make you any card you like.”

As someone who works for Amex, I can tell you that thhis is completely incorrect.

Hey All!

I am a South African Amex Platinum holder…..purely because the Platinum is currently the top end card here…no Centurion available yet.

I really wanted to have this card until I read some of the comments made by various Centurion card holders on this and other “Centurion” blogs.

Unfortunately it seems that even Centurion Cards cannot buy class!

P.S.: Please do not doubt my financial abilities or accuse me of having sour grapes….I can assure you of the contrary

Hi again!

Please check the following website….it should answer most of the questions on whether the Centurion Card is made from Plastic or Titanium…

Here goes:http://www.geocities.jp/ctwxg845/comparison.html

My mom and dad both have black amex’s and im getting one on my birthday..

In respons to the post 135. AMEX actually outsources their card production. The magnetic strip is the only important part of the card, regardless of the resources used to make it.

Have a black card and drive a 1998 mini van. Not kidding!! Actually enjoy the reactions. Lets see what this post generates.

I have one

There are people here that have black cards and drive only golf carts. (Catalina Island)

Beezy you are living the good life in Catalina Island. I will trade my 98 mini van for a golf cart in a second but my kids keep me here in the south east US. They have the nice cars.

In Puerto Rico, there are some guys who have the famous Black Card. I once went on my birthday with a friend of mine to a strip club and he gave me all the privates that i wanted for the night with any of the girls at the club, I said “no kidding”, so I tried to prove him wrong and went private with all of them. Then, at the end of the night, he passed a Centurion and said “told ya, m#$%(*&^#@er”. Also, Carlos (Topy) Mamery, an excecutive of SBS (Spanish Broadcasting Sistem) has one, everyone in the radio programs put pranks about him and teh “Black Card”…

I had one but got tired of the looks and comments every time I used it. Once, sales reps called her manager over to look at the card and I was in a rush. And, if I say something it only solidifies that I am an asshole. Not worth the hassled. My regular amex works just as good and I get no looks not even a hello. Now the only trouble is Amex won’t leave me alone. The keep wanting to send me a new card. Believe me it’s not “all that” because unless you’re a pretentious shallow asshole it’s not worth getting. Finally, I want to say movie stars don’t get shit if they pull one out on the contrary they may get shit for not having one.

How in the world would you know if stars don`t get shit when they pull out a black card. I know a few black card holders that give millions to charity and are not at all”pretentious shallow assholes”

I am a 23 year old guy from Belfast and I have a Black Card however this card is wasted in N.Ireland as not many places here accept the card and if they do they don’t really know what it is except that it is a credit card (charge card).

The perks are okay but to be honest when booking travel etc with the so called specialist team the prices are heavily inflated!!

I called today to book some VIP tickets to see my favourite DJ - Tiesto as the tickets were now sold out. The great thing is if this happens and you want tickets for a gig you will most likely get them but albeit at a very inflated cost.

The tickets had a face value of £37.00 and I was quoted well over £200.00 for the same tickets and they were not even Vip Tickets…. Standing only!!!!

Anyhow a great card for going to London with but all in all not great for Ireland!!!!

Serena williams has one so does sister venus

andy roddick

roger federer

Kate Bosworth has one. She rented a car where I work with it.

My boss has one and i get to use it and yes it is titanium.

My best friend of 20 years and Biz partner Nolan Cellini, diamond/platinum importer, has one… he and I were sitting in tattered jeans at a dinner meeting with a pin stripped guy that was bragging about he just bought a 911 Porsche with a amex credit card and was trying to get us to “invest” into his new business… Nolan pulled his out, his black card, :), and said does it look like this. Then he began to pick his teeth with it. He then offered to play “rock, paper, scissors” with the guy for his car… the guy left in embarrasment. We got in Nolans Ford F150 and drove off….. Nolan uses his to purchase his inventory from around the world…. He is very low key usually, it was the only time he’s ever, “one-upped” someone that I know of.

This is real good info. Thanks for sharing.

I work in a big night club in stockholm, I handle black amex on a daily basis. mostly ceo’s have them, the only people i remember having them are Paul Anka, His majesty prins Hakon of norway, The two sons of king hussien,(don’t remember from where in the middle east) pavarotti(but he’s dead.) Uma Thurman and Tom Cruise. I also see alot
of black plastic amex’s, but I don’t know what the difference is between the metal and the plastic amex black.
peace. Jamel

Maynard james keenan.. spent over $70,000 on aussie wine… plus a bit more on a magnum of grange hermitage… $75,000

I just went on a date in boston, paid with the black card, for 2 coffees and a light lunch. I almost shit my pants, the cashier took a minute to compute. never would have guessed. Pulls rank for a second date.

Those who dont know what it is wont care. Those who know will know how to apreciate it

He is a extremley well known tool in scuntthorpe, England. He spends around £18 MILLION annually

doesn’t ashanti have one?

This guest checked in at my hotel Westin and had one …..italian guy …. totally down to earth he asked me if we had a Maybach dealership in town

I have a reliable source. That says Rusty Wallace now has the Black Card. He was out with one of his racing buddies and he pulled out the black card. The next day had one.

John Kitna, quarterback for the Detroit Lions, has one. My boyfriend is in sales and sold him some expensive equipment and he paid for it with his Amex-Black Business card. And yes, my boyfriend said it is definitely heavy and made out of a metal.

I work in a restaurant, and waited on the restaurant’s owner today. He paid with his Black card. I think I got to hold it on one other occasion, when another server waited on him and called the rest of us over to touch it, saying “… because it’s probably the only chance you’re going to get.” It is pretty cool to hold and see….
I know it’s really materialistic and shallow to be impressed by nothing but money, but it is a cool card, and its rarity made me feel happy and excited.

i work at best buy and the other day i helped some guy pick out an ipod case.. he was very polite, and i spent a good amount of time with him helping him pick out the perfect one for his wife. he wasnt interested in looking at just the expensive ones and he ended up getting her a cute little pink one for liek 15$… when we got to the register he paid with his black card and shook my hand thanking me for my help. i was pretty damn suprised that he was so nice and down to earth, because other people ive rung up with a black card act all entitled and you can tell they expect a reaction from us “little people” when they hand it over, haha. its ridiculous, but im not gonna sit here saying that its “no big deal”.. they are pretty tight and exciting to swipe. plus, it kinda adds to the dramatic effect because they are always so cold and heavy haha

Pharrel Williams paid with his one (Star trak Productions) when i served him in Selfridge’s in London. 2006

and both of Bernie Ecclestone’s daughters ( who are hot by the way)

I am a server at a SteakHouse in Dallas. Daisy Fuentes also had a black card.

Carlos Slim Helu, is the richest man on earth and also a proud centurion card-holder.

What about tiger woods he has a deal with AMEX? My Uncle was one of the first people in the world to have one.

hello I m from Argentina.. here we are going to have the card in 15 more days…

witch is the price that usually pays for mantennace? I still wondering witch are the big benefits? My family has the Platinum so we think we are going to receive the aplicayyion ofr this new product…

When I was a teenager….I was a cashier at Arby’s…had a customer pay for an $8 order with one…

My wife and I each had our own Centurion cards before we got married. We then had them merged.

I have often wondered to myself whether Amex extends the privilege of a Centurion Card to the President of the United States as a courtesy. I doubt Amex would disclose such information on the basis of mere curiosity.

I have a green card that I love using on a regular basis. Sometimes when I’m feeling like i want to be an insecure attention seeking jerk, I whip out some cheap black paint and and give it a good going over. This means that sometimes I also have a black amex. ( Please note : let the paint dry before using it!). More importantly DONT GET TOOO EXCITED.

I am sure the people that you give that fake card to are laughing at you. You do sound like a clown.

There is no limit on centurian cards. New titanium cards get couriered to the customers front door in a block of glass where they are presented with a hammer to break open the glass and retrieve their card. FACT

I work at an Apple store and a guy came into the store and bought some kid’s games with one. It was cool. He worked for or owned a trading firm. He looked normal and didn’t flash it around or anything.

Big boy Dhiresh has one!

Well I have one (actually two). I reckon my wife spent too much at our local supermarket in Wales with the platinum one - hence the upgrade :-). Amex invited me. It came in a flash box and I get the usual stuff - posh brochures for swish holidays in amazing hotels etc. I bought a chicken tikka wrap, diet coke and a carton of blueberries with it lunchtime. Yum Yum. I kid you not. Hmmm. Its just a card. The only time I really enjoyed using it was at a night out with the lads when some ‘posh bloke’ was bragging about a friend of his who worked ‘in the city’ might just get one this year. When I pulled my card out he was shocked, when I pulled out the other one I thought we would have to resusciate him. For the son of a coalminer I thought - hey - does that mean I’ve achieved something - hurrah - at last!? Anyway…have fun…

i work at a deli in new jersey in one of the more expensive shore towns during the summer and i’ve seen a fair share of black cards. they’re quite intimidating to hold! i don’t know who they people were…no one famous, but obviously they have a bit of money! i just like to hold them and stare when i’m running them through the credit card machine… i will never ever have one on a teacher’s salary unfortunately.

my dad gave me one for birthday… im from mexico my dad is the owner of cemex! i love amex!

I worked on a porn shoot 2 years ago & the director sent me to the liquor store to stock up on booze for a party we threw for the cast & crew at the end of the shoot. He gave me his AMEX black to use. The guy behind the counter almost didn’t take it because he didn’t think it was a “real” AMEX. I told him “trust me…it’s the real deal”…LOL.

My husband and I, and our fiends all have one, it’s no big deal, but we do like the service, for example we live in the UK, and we always use AMEX to book our holidays, we do nothing apart from pay for it. It’s not that recognized here.
There is no limit, we have in the past bought cars on it, and the dealers are reluctant due to high commission they have to pay.
It’s a normal card just black with platinum writing.

I used to work at Target as a cashier and I remember ringin normal looking ppl and they would pay with the black card. I would say that I saw/held about 15 while I work there… one customer I remember vividly b/c she inserted the card into the card reader and it got stuck… that one card in particular was made out of Titanium… but I saw both the plastic ones [mostly foreign cardholders] and titanium ones. I work at Macy*s and have been working there since october and have yet to see one…

We have a black american express. Although it is cool to have it and see the looks you get I still dont think it has made anyones status improve. We still belive we are just as good as we were when we had the platinum hell the basic bank card for that matter. Obtaining the black card has nothing to do with status and all to do with ambission. We use the black american express for things as simple as Doritos at the gas station in the end its just a card.

I know A Venezuelan citizen with a BLACK CARD he spend … in my store, G. Aletti is your name, ….Goverment people???? no…

I work at FAO Schwarz at Fifth Ave in NYC and I’ve seen quite afew Black cards. The most recent ones was from the CEO of the NJ Devils, and Donald Trump Jr.
