New Visa Black Card

[lostsols]

The Visa Black Card signup bonus was solid.  Do you plan to ditch the card before the second annual fee hits?  I tried to get Barclays to waive that fee in month 11, but they weren't willing to do so.

You have to put a lot of use on the card,to get them to waive the fee,Im planning to use the points to buy airline tickets this year.as its a very good deal if you use the points for tickets only.Barclays likes a lot of usage on their cards,They have been very good to me,I have 3 accounts with them

For those interested in what it actually looks like, here's a thread worth reading by one of the members when he received it:

I still do not understand why it isn't a Visa Signature card.

I put plenty of spend on the card. Bought a rolex with it. Still wouldn't budge on the 2nd year fee. I agree that Barclay is solid, nonetheless. I have no complaints about the bank. This card is just way overpriced.
