It is not designed for angry cheapskates. Most people won't know the difference, between this and the amex black card. Is it true that you get a better service at restaurants when you present this black card? 99% card members have given a resounding YES. Another perk not mentioned , when calling the customer service, if you wait for longer than 2 minutes to speak with a representative, your last purchase charged on this card is FREE. of course. So if you're someone that values your time, this card is definitely for you.

Even to the richest egomaniac, choosing a credit card with a $500 annual fee is just ludicrous. Also, it begs the question of "why does a wealthy person need a credit card to begin with?"

You can not apply for it. The Barclays version is a credit card that is just a little prestigeous than your standard Visa platinum card. I still think that the Amex platinum card holds more weight and they have just about the same annual fee.

They gave me one. To find out my credit line, I must activate it (it means $495 fee even if I decide not to use it). I did not activate it. You know what was my credit line? $10,000. That is right Ten Thousand dollars. Now, how many days can you stay at Waldorf Astoria with 10K credit line? Probably one day. Or can you get a suite at a cruise? Not with $10K credit line. Card for high net worth people????? I think, it is rip off. I applied for the Barclay card. They gave me one.
