The American Express Centurion Card, known informally as the Black Card, is an invitation-only charge card issued by American Express〔Sullivan, Paul, ("American Express’s New Service for Its Wealthiest Cardholders" ), ''The New York Times'', January 24, 2011〕 to platinum card holders after they meet certain criteria, while spending at least $21,000 a month.〔Lent, Robert; Selling Luxury: Connect with Affluent Customers, Create Unique Experiences Through Impeccable Service, and Close the Sale, ISBN 0470457996〕 There are two different issues of the Centurion Card: personal and business.〔( pe.pdf American Express Centurion/Departures ) - Media Kit, Europe & Middle East 2010〕 ==History== In 1999, American Express introduced the Centurion Card to cater to a more affluent customer segment. The card was initially available only to selected users of the company's Platinum Card. To become a Centurion cardholder, one must meet American Express's eligibility criteria. Cardholders are required to pay an annual fee, and in some countries also an initiation fee (In the United States, the initiation fee is $7,500 in addition to the $2,500 annual fee from each cardholder). In addition to a variety of exclusive benefits, the card itself is made of anodized titanium〔 with the information and numbers laser etched into the metal (It should be noted that in some markets, the plastic version of the card is still issued, with or without the titanium card. The plastic card and 2014 and earlier Centurion cards include embossed information on the card. The Centurion 2015 Card introduced laser etching. In some locations such as in Israel, EMV "chip and pin" plastic cards which also include the ExpressPay contactless payment technology, are issued). American Express created the card line amid rumors and urban legends in the 1980s that it produced an ultra-exclusive black card for elite users who could purchase anything with it.
