I looked at all the cards when choosing mine and the black one never stood out as attractive compared to Altitude AMEX.
I must confess I had missed the 4X DBS points (instead of 3x before) for spend in excess of $1k spend each month. I guess I should get the Altitude card. Although I do a lot of overseas spend, and I see that the Black Treasure's Amex gives me double miles for overseas spend (6X DBS points), but Altitude does not.

I guess for local spend Altitude makes more sense, for overseas spend, the Black Amex is better.

Still cant find a good visa/mastercard for SQ Krisflyer accrual. The Citibank one looks like the best bet. May be I will get that and the Altitude card after the summer holidays.
