Easiest way to get a black card:

1. Go to Staples/Office Depot/Target....

2. look for one of these:

  

3. Enjoy your newly minted Black Card!

Step 1: Become very wealthy

Step 2: Wait for personalized invite from Amex

Lol I think those cards are pretty rare and not too many qualify for them. Maybe one day, though, if you’re financially fit? Good luck!

Or

1. Become very wealthy

2. Hire a salaried personal assistant

3. Ignore the Amex invite

The Cent concierge is better than a PA for dining reservations, but for other things a PA's full-time focus and familiarity with your tastes can give a better result if something is really important.

I have a friend that is a Centurion card holder. He said the every day perks really aren't that much better than what I have on the Platinum. Sure... you read crazy stories about how a personal concierge will fly to the moon to retrieve moon dust or rocks but I have no need for that sort of thing. I get all the concierge service I need on the Platinum, and I checked my "spend limit" once and was approved for $75,000 which is more than he would ever charge on his Black in one swipe. Would I like to have the Centurion to impress the ladies? Sure... but my Ritz card already does that:-)

I don't care about that aspect honestly... or do I ???

the $7,500 AF can theoretically be used as a “salary” for a semi-personal assistant who will book flights, dining reservations, meeting spaces, group trips, company retreats, event catering etc. but I see this more as a corporate kind of perk than a personal perk. These AF can be a tax write off for business, but again just to get it will need a ludicrous amount of spend with Amex on ludicrous things. For anything less, Amex platinum can do just fine to the 99%

Do some research. Most miles enthusiasts consider that card to be vastly inferior to most other ~$500 AF cards.
