It reminds me of this reality dating show I was watching while flipping through the channels. I normally can't stand reality TV, but this was actually interesting. They had a guy on there who made me absolutely shudder, and I couldn't help but think "who in their right mind would go after this guy?"

 

He was thinner than a sack of bones, looked like his mum still dressed him, had horse-like teeth bigger than Mr. Ed, skin that was flaking off in multiple places, a face like a smashed crab, was unemployed, and had the absolutely dorkiest personality ever. To his credit though he was a nice guy.

 

After being passed over by 20+ women, one was quite enthralled and asked him out on a date. My fiancee always says that "there's someone out there for everyone", and this guy was living proof.

 

IMO Visa Black is the credit card version of the guy with the smashed-crab face. Most people will say "what the hell are you thinking?!"... but there's still someone out there who will bite.

Re: Barclay Black Metal Card

Can anyone comment on their claim that their rewards points are worth twice as much as amex plat? I have a friend who has carried this card for a couple of years, I was telling him today its probably not worth it and he should try the sapphire preferred instead. Probably 20k a month spend.

LMAO well said indeed 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I highly doubt their points are worth more than AMEX...

All I see is a video, not much to go off by and not many people out there with this card with honest reviews about it.
