Currently have CSR. Priority lounges are usually packed at the airports I frequent. Should I switch to Amex platinum? Also thinking about the Black card.

I believe the only additional lounges you would get with Amex Plat are Centurion (which are great, but very few so depends where you fly) and Delta if you’re flying Delta

Isn’t the Black Card invitation only?

Amex Platinum also has Priority Pass, plus Delta (when flying SkyTeam) and Centurion, so if that's a deciding factor then Amex Platinum is vastly superior to CSR.

Black card?

Sorry SC1 didn’t mean to repeat, it hadn’t loaded

Thx for the insights. Yeah I just got an invite for the black card but the perks don’t seem that attractive unless I missed something.

The black card perks are actually not that much better compares to the amex plat surprisingly. The points guy did a comparison awhile back

In terms of lounges, the only benefit of the Black vs platinum card is you get reserved seating in centurion lounges as far as I know

As a sr consultant you got an invite to the Black AMEX? Or a different black card? I thought the bar for invite was over 300k spend per year for Black AMEX. Could be wrong, but I thought the invite was to a fairly limited group

There’s a new card called “The Black Card” from another institution, he’s definitely not referring to the Centurion card

Ya I call bull shit on the Amex Centurion Card
