thanks Hall you answered my ?

He would have given them his card, they would have done an authorization to make sure he was approved for that amount, and he would have signed the tab: just like a smaller transaction. The behind the scenes stuff is more complicated: the funds would likely have been held until some further verification was done. A call to the merchant for specific details about the charges and another to the cardholder would be fairly standard. Visa and Mastercard offer high limit cards, but I think the Amex Black answer is probably correct. They have a high "baller" factor. 

Lol

Thanks for giving us a glimpse into the complicated, phone call-based world of the Amex Black card purchase verification process, McDoobie.

Very informative.

You're welcome Mark. Let me know if you have any follow up questions. 

what's the exact weight of the amex black card? 

they seem pretty heavy. 

^ My Marriott Rewards card is 13 g.  It's steel plated or some shit- I dunno.. it does feel nice with a little weight to it.

On Friday morning, I called Amex and was able to request the new, metal version of my card. (If you haven’t yet requested the new version, you can do so by calling Amex or logging in to your account online.)<<<
