Visa Black is a rip off. You are better of with the AMEX Platinum.
RBC infinite ” Private Banking ” Visa is more exclusive than the Amex Platinum , also the requirement to qualify for this Visa is lot higher than the Amex Platinum . I had Amex Platinum for 3 years , I charge several hundred thousand dollars a year on my card , unfortunately not all the merchant accept Amex , so i decided to switch to RBC Private Banking Infinite Black Visa .
Bottom line …..if you charge at least $100,000 plus on the cards ..see RBC bank manager and he can request Invitation only visa for you ..Mind you the fee is $600 a year …
I have the black amex centurion card, which although the requirements are higher than the visa, is by far more superior, people appreciate the amex over the visa, its more recognized as an elite card, stores are more awed and the benefits from amex are vaster
you have brought up a very great points , appreciate it for the post.
Banks are the worst. This card, giving more to those that make/spend more is a sign of everything that is wrong with this world. If you look at the way that any Bank advertises, the safety in every image and ad, it makes you want to scream. The message – we love everyone, as long as they spend money with us.
I am a RBC wealth management customer with a Gold Visa card. I never received an invitation to switch to a black Visa card.

You blow hards. “I’ve got the Amex Black” “I’ve got the Visa infinite Black” Take your hands off your dicks and stop pretending you’re all that. Plastic is plastic it’s only those who have small dicks need the card to prop them up!!!
And yet you need to carry both cards, somewhat telling don’t you think, given Your remarks…
Yet you need to have both cards ! Smwhay telling don’t you think given your train of thought !
