[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 7 points 8 months ago (4 children) Amex is such a douchebag rich person flex. The credit card equivalent of a Laboubou collection. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children) Amex isn't exclusive at all. Anyone can go apply for one and get one.

It's not as popular as the ones for "elected officials", warmongers, fascists, or even longtime tyrants, to be sure —but it's there. 🖕🏼 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago The Amex Black Card is the one I was starting to refer to, I got interrupted and decided to hit the button rather than elucidate further. Sorry. You can look up the requirements and benefits, it wouldn't be good for me but for someone who travels a lot and throws big expensive parties it might. Or if they're basically a corporation permalink fedilink source parent [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (1 child) anyone can get an amex. unless you're talking about a platinum or black card? those have minimum spending requirements per year to keep them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 point 8 months ago Yeah the black one permalink fedilink source parent [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago (1 child) Lol what?
