Plastic cards have long become an integral part of our life. Not a single trip to the supermarket or pharmacy is complete without them. In the wallet of each of us, there is often not one, but several payment cards. And they are all very similar to one another, because they are issued in ordinary banks, which do not bother too much with the design.
However, there are special credit cards, one type of which is enough to assess the status of the owner. In order to get such a piece of plastic, you need to have a tidy sum on your account. It should be calculated in hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the first time, American Express issued an exclusive card for its customers in 1999. The Centurion Card, or "black card" (this name stuck to it due to its design) has become synonymous with wealth, luxury and big money. Today there are several dozen of these cards. We will talk about them further.
American Express Centurion Credit Card
It was this bank card that became the first in the VIP segment. Obtaining such a card is not easy - American Express Corporation itself sends out invitations to potential customers. One of the selection criteria is considered to be an annual cost of $ 250-300 thousand. The initial payment for the card issuance is 2.5 thousand dollars, and the annual service is about 7 thousand dollars.
In return, the American Express Centurion holder receives a number of benefits, including discounts on cruises, luxury car rental, and access to the airport's VIP zone.
Dubai First Royale MasterCard
A unique bank card that has a gold frame and a diamond. This card is available only to select residents of Dubai. According to rumors, only two hundred of these cards were issued. A personal manager is attached to each of them, who fulfills any client's wishes - whether it be boxing tickets or the prestigious Grammy award (even if the seats have not been on sale for a long time).
Jp morgan chase palladium card
The exclusivity of this card starts with the material. The JP Morgan Chase Palladium Card used palladium and gold - not bad, right? The right to own such a card is available to those whose average account balance is $ 100 million. Card maintenance costs $ 450 per year.
For using the card, the cardholders receive bonuses that can be spent on buying tickets, renting luxury hotel rooms, as well as renting luxury cars.
Coutts World / Silk Card
The plastic Silk Card is issued by Coutts Bank, which belongs to Queen Elizabeth II. Therefore, the number of holders of this card is limited, and the terms of the interest rate are calculated individually for each client. Benefits include access to exclusive boutiques and restaurants, buying the best airline tickets and booking hotel suites, with an average annual expense of around $ 77,000. There is no fee for servicing the Silk Card.
Visa Stratus Rewards
An exclusive bank card from Visa is available by invitation only. It can be owned by a client of a bank who spends more than $ 100,000 annually. The commission for using the card is 1,500 dollars a year. Thanks to the Visa Stratus Rewards card, you can count on renting the best yachts, cars and airplanes, a personal concierge service, as well as accommodation in deluxe rooms.
