It would be nice if you could have included links to applications or information, I’d like to know more about that Merryl Lynch card but the info you posted is quite vague.
Saw this a while back, but couldn’t quite figure out where the revenue stream is Anyone know if you get charged for the service when you use it?
the meryll lynch card I know has the ability to have more than a 250k limit on it, as I definitely have spent well more than that in a month on it, when I used it - it also qualified for points rewards, too, from the catalog. My ex-wife went on a 15k spending spree at williams sonoma one day from point rewards (when we were still married)
Don’t know if it matters but Canada has an Imperial Service card that requires you to have $1,000,000 in assets. One perk is that it comes with a personal finance manager.
In Europe the most prestigious credit card is VISA Infinite. http://www.myoffshoreaccounts.com/english/DeltaQuest_Visa-infinite-card-top-credit-card
In Germany, there is the “HVB Premium Card” (it’s black, too!).
It’s supposed to have an annual fee of 800€ (1248 USD) and offers all the concierge, priority, perk, secretary and assurance stuff; also for your family and companions. It’s invitation only and also available as corporate card.

It is the most gratifying feeling when people eyes widen after you show them the Black Card. They always always make a comment.
What happened was, I got the idea in my head- and I could not get it out- that college was just one more dopey, inane place in the world dedicated to piling up treasure on earth and everything. ,
What about the Charles Schwab Visa Card? It has up to a 250,000 dollar limit and no annual fee plus personal concierge, etc etc.
