Let's cut the hyperbole. As great as it may be, the Amex Black does not get you top tier on every FF program out there. As noted below, it is only a handful of US carriers, and often just to the mid-tier level. </font>
I understood it gave AA Plat which equals a OW level that will get you into OW airline clubs throughout the world, including ACs, if flying internationally on that day. Plus first class check-in, preferred seating, blocked seats, etc. So, while Plat is not ExpPlat, it still gets you a certain level of comfort that is very, very nice.
