Oh yeah I want, I can buy a .99 muffin with it!

Those things are pretty neat though, they are made out of metal and look pretty cool.

Hat, my dad has that card. You have to be invited to join that club. (My dad was invited by his best friend.)

I have a platinum.

And, oh yes that concierge benefits are the shiznit!

Even with $250,000 annual expenses, a small business could burn through that pretty easily with capital improvements and payroll....if you could bill it all that way. I wonder if you get any breaks on international purchases due to exchange rates.

Isn't it something just to flash to people that don't have one?

Thats what I was thinking actualy. I suspect a large percentage of them are used for business.

But the cool factor is there. You could go to the MB dealer and when they ask you how your going to pay, say ahh through it on the Amex.

That would be a neat bill at the end of the month, S550 $110k.

I once had my dinner at an all-you-can-eat chinese buffet restaurant paid for with a black amex card. (whoopie)

Bummer dealers don't accept them because they have to pay a percentage. My girlfriend got them to accept $5k on a new car and thats as high as they would go. She was going for airline miles.

She's got the right idea.

We bought our used Miata on my CC and they didn't have a problem. I had to call customer service first and they simply said "OK, Thank you". Hurrah for airline miles!
