The black card. Is there any real benefit between that and a platinum Amex? I looked into it and both of the travel options are the same, free first class companion ticket for international flights, and both have consierge service, but is there any real difference other than status? I wanted to know if anyone actually had one, and if they thought it was worth it. It's a $5,000 initiation fee, which I could trade for points, but a $2,500 yearly fee. It doesn't seem to have any added benefits to a platinum card.
