What are the benefits to having the Black card?

[dtjones052209]

I know a lot of high rollers utilize this card, but what are the benefits and are there any other cards that are similiar?

I'd google this or search in the myfico forums for answers about black cards. This topic has been pretty exhausted

BIG difference haha

Perhaps OP is talking about Marriott or Citi Diamond Prefferred?

[dtjones052209]

I was talking about the Citi Diamond Preferred, but i know there are others out there.

[dtjones052209]

I also notice that i keep getting these mailers about the Visa Black card. Any info about this?

[Creditaddict]

oh Citi Diamond Preferred is usually a good BT card but I wouldn't get it otherwise, don't think it has rewards.

now the Visa Black by Barclay is the crazy silly one that I thought you were talking about... it's $495 annual fee and just about any rewards card out meets or beats the rewards with no AF!

Just curious, why do you think a lot of high rollers use the Citi Diamond Preferred?  Are you confusing it with another card maybe?

Anyway, I have it and it's really nothing special.  They're good with CLs and, at the time, gave a 21-month 0% opening offer.  That's about it.

Citi Diamond gave me my first non-toy limit. 6k certainly made me feel like a baller at that time!
