Do you think that the platinum anual fee will be raised as well ? $750.00 or $ 1000.00. Obviously giving more benefits. They should give $500.00 travel credit ( Away, Tickets, or hotels ). Not the stupid travel incidental which is a hassle to use sometimes

$300 a month = $3,600 a year with the initiation fee it would be $4,100 for year one.

I do have the personal card, I dunno why I got this as I rarely travel and it comes in handy for rich travellers as you have a personal concierge that sorts out everything travel related for you. Though most black card members couldn’t care less about the price hike, it’s still does not justify it because the additional benefit sucks.

I would love that 50% points rebate. Actually makes sense for rich travelers and celebrities.

You have to understand that the people that can afford to get the black card the 3600 a year for equinox is peanuts. There are a lot of people that make a ton of money, it’s all relevant.

$3600 a year for an Equinox membership? I'd rather be unhealthy for free.

I think it's pretty good that they gave $3600 in Equinox membership and $1000 Saks credit, which basically makes the AF $5000 – $4600 = $400 (not a lot for such a prestigious card).

CLEAR is not an alternative to TSA Pre. You just bypass the line. Then you go to the regular line. So you need to have both. Then it's a breeze. I had both for few years.

The Black Card hasn't been worth it for several years now. Platinum is just as good and way cheaper every year. Most of the Black Card benefits are worthless.

I'm an EQX member and its not that expensive. Each gym cost different amount but that average membership is $165/month. There are also a lot of corporate discounts that can knock that price down.
