Ex. Bank of America - AMEX Accolades

Citi - AMEX Chairman


I'm surprised that there is not a luxury Visa since Visa is accepted at more places.

Thanks

Visa Infinite is not like Centurion. There are exclusive versions of Visa Infinite in some countries offered by certain banks. Frankly, if you want to issue an exclusive card, it does not have to be "infinite", "signature", "world", "world premier". Exclusive means that the distribut'ion is LIMITED based upon membership, spending, income, or assets. It has nothing to do with the words on the card. How rmany Visa and MC really qualify?

Visa announced a new card called "Signature Premier" last year. Maybe one day it will really exist.
