The word on the street is that you can singe your green card with a blowtorch and get the centurion look.

Or you could just get a USAA Amex. The cashiers whom you will be impressing probably won't know the difference. All they know is it's a black amex, which is bling.

What I want to know is if anyone in the history of the Centurion card has ever flipped it on to a tray in a nightclub and said, "How 'bout some black plastic?" (scene from "Roadhouse, except it was a gold card)
