Who is offering Good Visa Black Card?

[Strepthroat]

CS800, I haven't had the chance to compare the two since I haven't used the Ritz Carlton Visa just yet, but I will put it to good use when I go to Vegas in November.  The annual fee is $395, the AMEX Platinum is $495.  I already had the platinum and the benefits I've received from AMEX so far ($200 credit, airport lounge access, etc.), the Ritz Carlton Visa offiers. 

This past week I was in the Outter Banks for vacation and used my AMEX to rent a car.  As soon as I showed the Avis Rep my AMEX card, I was asked by the Avis Rep if I wanted to upgrade my intermediate car to a Dodge Durango SUV or Mini Van at no extra charge. Not sure if it was the card or he was having a good morning.  Who knows what goes through individuals minds.

But I will post a review on the Ritz Carlton after I put some use on it.

Strep, the AMEX Plat is $450 AF. I just paid it

But you're right, the privileges it gets you are amazing. I did read on FT that the AMEX Plat had way more perks than the Visa Black

Yes, I saw that...I upgraded from the Gold and only had to pay $95 since I did the upgrade about 7 months after receiving the Gold......that's why I forgot it was $450.
