Know about metal credit cards :

Metal credit cards as we know them today debuted in 1999 with the introduction of the Centurion Card from American Express. Also known as the Black Card, this credit card is still available today and seen by many as the ultimate payment status symbol.

To get a Centurion Card, you need an invitation, and word on the internet is that you only get invitation if you’re spending at least $350,000 on your existing American Express cards each year. Then, you need to pay a $10,000 initiation fee and a $5,000 annual fee. Clearly, the people who qualify for this card are an elite group.

Fortunately, you no longer need deep pockets to get a metal credit card. That’s because most of the major players in the credit card industry – including Chase, Citi and Capital One – now offer metal credit card options.
