Black Card Recon

[Anonymous]

I applied yesterday and didnt get a no, but didnt get a yes.

Wondering if anyone has experience with this card. And is there a recon number?

Thanks

Yes there is a number for you to call as this is probably verification and them wanting to ask you a few questions. Most of the apps for this card have been the same way. I do not have the number in front of me but you can find it on here if you look under backdoor numbers.

What is the "Black Card"?

I decided to Google the "Black Card". It sounds like an OK card but if you don't mind me asking - why didn't you apply for the AMEX Platinum instead (unless you already have it) ?

currently blacklisted from amex even though I have paid them everything I owed them.

Thank the credit Gods and save your money - the Luxury cards by Barclays are image over substance. Better offers from Chase/Citi/Cap-1 even if you are willing to pay a high AF (I'm not). Seach MyFico for threads on the "Black Card" for a lot of feedback - it's a common thread.

They used to give a sign up bonus for all 3 of their Luxury cards,But I have not seen any new bonuses on those cards and yes the AF'S are high,the gold one has a $995.00 AF

That is one of the same reasons that I have the card. I travel a lot, both for business and personal.
