>The once coveted "black card" or Centurion product

it even made it into pop culture, Ariana Grande's song 7 Rings has the lines

Black card is my business card The way it be settin' the tone for me I don't mean to brag, but I be like, "Put it in the bag,"




Kanye did it better (and 15 years earlier):

    I went to the malls and I balled too hard
    "Oh my god, is that a black card?"
    I turned around and replied,
    "Why yes – but I prefer the term African American Express"


there have been r&b songs about this card since late aughts to my knowledge, when it was still mythical

but yeah the US Amex platinum has most or better perks than the Centurion now
