Received an unsolicited credit card offer in the mail today. An exclusive - and stunning - Black Card Visa!

The offer claims it is open to only 1% of U.S. Residents. I have, it seems, joined ranks with the elite, the swells, and the fantastically rich of this country.

From the invitation:

For those who demand only the best of what life has to offer, the exclusive Visa Black Card is for you. The Black Card is not just another piece of plastic. Made with carbon, it is the ultimate buying tool.

The Black Card is not for everyone. In fact,
it is limited to only 1% of U.S. residents to ensure the highest caliber of personal service is provided to every Cardmember.
Become a Black Card member today and enjoy our 24-hour world class Concierge Service ready to assist you with all your business, travel and leisure needs.
Enjoy these special priveledges

    * Limited Membership
    * 24-Hour Concierge Service
    * Exclusive Rewards Program
    * Luxury Gifts
    * Patent Pending Carbon Card

* Annual Fee $495

oh, and the interest rate? ONLY 13.7%

It will certainly be exclusive.

With a $500 dollar annual fee, only fools and wannabe's will enjoy the luxurious carbon card.

That "24-Hour Concierge Service" is rather tempting, though..........hmmmm

So can you get them to offer a no-fee version with only 25% interest on unpaid balances? LOL, what's your credit limit on a card like that, $5k so you can go 10 years without using it before it's maxed out?

I'll say it's exclusive. Exclusively stupid.

No clue. It was unsolicited junk mail. I like the claim the claim that it is open to only 1% of U.S. Residents. I have major - nay, huge - doubts as to being in the top 10% income-wise, or credit-wise, let alone the top 1%. That's Donald Chump and Ophrah territory.

It appears they are simply trolling for guppies. Here, fishie, fishie......
