Maybe the black is to infer the highest of standards like the AE Black Card (which will probably never be in my wallet). But actually I like the black because it is very easy for me to spot in my wallet which is full of other loyalty/rewards type of plastic cards. Maybe like credit cards, you could get it personalized with like wildlife or your favorite hobby.

One thing is that towards the end of last year there were media reports and accompanying speculation on FT with regards to AA going more towards a la carte pricing, including giving only partial miles, or no miles, for deep discount fares. With DBEQM, I would think that for now this is dead but could still rise from its ugly grave at some future point.
