You're probably jealous of a rich classmate and your venting on the administrator of a semi-successful credit card blog.... You need therapy, because you are a jealous and mean person. And by the way, you NEED to go to school, because with your grammar and horrid spelling, and also vulgar acronyms (you don't call the American Express Centurion the "AMEX Blk" if you have one, and judging by your tone, you don't have one).

You also have over 1 Million liquid cash in Citi-Bank, and you're on a chat board. You're a 16 year old kid sitting in-front of his comp with 10 zits who cant get laid, and needs to create an alternate lifestyle in his own mind. Let me guess you drove your Lamborghini last night and your Ferrari this morning, but only because your Bugatti Veyrnon was in the shop???? More like your dads minivan that needs a new exhaust.

They locate a service for you but the card will pay for none of the cost. Over Christmas, my car broke down. Call Concierge and after being routed to several different places learned that they merely contact a towing company and you pay the towing company charges. Amex covers the first $50.

You mentioned that this card allows you to use airport lounges through Priority Pass. I need for you to do more research. Years ago, AA, Delta and the other larger airlines accepted Priority Pass. About 4 years later, these lounges cancelled their alliances and no longer accept this card. I find it highly inconvenience in some older airports (ex: La Guardia) have their sub-prime lounges located before security check-in. So I can't even go to these lounges because I can't take the chance of missing my flight because security check ins are unpredictable. Additionaly, the lounges that accept Priority Pass are inferior compared to Admiral and the likes. They are usually in terminals that aren't accessable from larger airline terminals. SO it is work to near useless of a feature. A business traveler doesn't use airlines that aren't influential in their airport placements. Real lounges belong to Delta, AA, Cathay Pacific etc. So to pay $500 so you can lose time looking who accepts Priority Pass is a waste. I no longer want to carry this card.

Think about this logically for a second, if you are doing a financial deal with someone, you want them to have A+ money management skills, am I right? Well the deal I was referring to, the man had a subprime card for those with bad credit who can't get approved for a normal card so yes, I do think it was warranted to bail on the deal. I'm not saying someone needs a Citi Chairman card or a AmEx Platinum but if you are in business, it looks horrible to whip out a card that is only used for rebuilding credit. He should have just paid with a debit because a card for bad credit basically screams "I can't manage money."

Not every vendor takes Amex blackcard or Amex Platinum but almost everyone takes Mastercard. As far as ditching a deal with someone because they don't have a black or platinum card, I feel sorry for the pompous a######. C'est dommage!!

If you fly 50K miles per year, you effectively get 50K in points, hence the 500 annual fee is free. Now this doesn't look so bad, does it?
