I think it's time to call a spade a spade, here.

 

The questions that you've asked in this thread, while entirely legitimate, demonstrate that you're not really the target market for the Palladium, despite your net worth.  

 

I suggest that you'll be entirely happy with the Sapphire Preferred and that the extra $500 in annual fee for the Palladium is a waste.  You simply won't use the features of the card that make it (questionably) worth more than the CSP.

You are aware every visa signature card comes with concierge service, right? If that is your only reason for wanting the palladium you need to look around more.

Glad someone said it...

 

F is first, J is business.

To be fair, the J.P. Morgan concierge, at least in my experience, is vastly superior to Visa Signature's concierge. But I still don't think the Palladium is a good fit for the OP. You can make a good economic/financial case for the CSP, not so with the Palladium unless you really value the intangibles.

Does JPM have one concierge for all of their products (palladium, select, etc.), or is there a seperate/differentiated service for each?

The J.P. Morgan concierge is exclusive to the JPM Palladium card. As I understand it, they are a dedicated team at Circles that receive special training to handle J.P. Morgan clients. JPM Select uses the plan vanilla Visa Signature concierge, but they do have a dedicate team (like the Palladium and CSP) for customer service inquiries when you call the number on the back of the card.

Would you pay $595 a year just to upgrade from the regular Siggy concierge to the Pd? Lol

I think it depends on how much $595 is for you, how much you value the service, and what the other alternatives are.
