How did we get this American Express Black Card?

How did we get this American Express Black Card?

My wife just received a pre-approval form for an AmEx Black Card. We are by NO means wealthy. She DOES have exceptional credit and standing with AmEx. I can't understand how we would be selected for this though. I thought this was an extremely exclusive membership program reserved for the uber wealthy. Any thoughts?

The Answer : The Black Card used to be the sole domain of the rich and powerful. While you still can't apply for it and it is by invitation only, you can get it if you have stellar credit, great standing with Amex and you are a holder of either their- American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Card or to some extent, the American Express® Preferred Rewards Green Card - Business Gold Rewards CardOthers get the Black or Centurion Card as well if they charge around $250,000 on their AMEX cards.The card has a lot of perks -- but check if the annual fee of $2,500 is worth all the perks the card carries with it. If you travel a lot, it sure is a great card with all its rewards and perks
