Re: Your Dream Credit Card?

The All-Elite Card.

 

The perk would be Elite status at the Major Hotel and Airline Chains.  Just the benifit of room/air travel upgrades and perks would be wonderful.  Wouln't even need the top tier status, just mid-tier (e.g. Gold with Marriott and Delta) would be awesome.

Re: Your Dream Credit Card?

Creating my own card:

MLB All-Access pass card. AF of $500 but it provides 2 free tickets to a game of your choice at each MLB stadium and then gives 3% rewards on concessions (including beer), 2% on gas, and 1% on everything else. Points can only be redeemed for domestic flights.

This card is very reasonable, but allows season-long baseball trips at really affordable prices. After a nice long road trip, you should have enough airline points to fly home.

In My Wallet: Amex BCP (12/12) $50,000, Chase Freedom (12/12) $16,500, Cap1 Quicksilver (6/12) $14,000, Barclaycard Rewards (5/13) $10,500, Citi Prestige (4/16) $30,000

I already have my dream card - It's the white wone in my sig below.

 

The Amex Unicorn Card - Blinding white, subtly bedazzled with an underlying glitter reminiscent of adult entertainment...  This rare card allows the holder the unlimited spending power befitting their position.  Rarely seen and often speculated about, this card identifies the holder as a one-of-a-kind American Express customer.  No one knows exactly how you get this card.  Questions to customer service meet a stone wall, as they deny it's existence consistently.  

 

It appears to be made of some type of petroleum distillate, melted and hardened with layers of graphics and magnetics, but no one can be sure exactly how.  Perhaps it is comprised of some mineral, like zync.  We may never know.  It has achieved a mystical status as an urban legend...  Crowds gather to witness it when used.  Heads turn for a second look.  Under the lights of a nightclub it stands out screaming - "Look at me!"

 

It is said that no one may ask for this card, and once given up it can never be obtained again.  Perhaps one day you'll have that once in a lifetime chance to be come a Unicorn Member.  But chances are you never will.  This is, by far, the exclusive of the exclusive.

 

The American Express Unicorn Card.  Because Hype is everything.


That was EPIC !

 

Love my Zync too
