What’s the point in having the AmEx black card? It doesn’t seem to have better perks than the platinum and is insanely more expensive. Is it just prestige?

AmEx will bend over backwards to do concierge tasks for you. If you can afford that card/spend enough to even get an invitation, you’re not that worried about maximizing points.

Prestige and just the hype of having a black card. Not gonna lie, seems cool to have lol

funnylike

Black card holders have higher purchasing power but on top of that they have a 24/7 dedicated concierge line to aid in purchasing or acquiring just about anything you want, anywhere in the world. Travel, dining, goods and services, you name it and they’ll get it or find it for you.

There was a time you could just flash the black card and get into the most exclusive nightclubs VIP section. Don’t know if it still holds the gravitas.
