Visa Infinite
Does anyone have information on the Visa Infinite Card. I know that National City Bank, Chase Bank currently offer the card. Fleet elected to offer the Visa Signature Card to its Private Banking Clients.
Are there any other US banks offering the card? What are the lines of credit associated with the card?
Thanks

I called both Chase Bank and Visa (800) VISA-911 and neither was able to provide any information about current U.S. issuing of the card. Visa did confirm it's existence and that it has higher "requirements" but was unable to provide any banks in the U.S. that offer it. As we know, National City does offer the Infinite Card - to its private clients. However, Chase has no knowledge of the card. Any other contacts at Chase with knowledge of the card?

A quick internet search found me the following:
Visa Infinite - Detailed Benefits from Visa USA

Visa Infinite's Website for Current Card Holders

The only banks that I found that offer it is the National City bank already mentioned here and the Commercial Bank of Kuwait.

Even the "best Visa card" is still a step behind Amex premium products :
Visa Infinite : for individuals who earn over $150,000 .
Amex Centurion : for individuals who spend over $150,000 on their Amex card...

For Chase, the annual fee for their Infinite Card begins at $150. It goes up dending on the level of optional benefits you chose to have. The fee may be reduced or waived if you are a Private Banking Client

Steve, I am amazed at your ability to find this information. Congrads! I called the Chase number you recommended and wasn't told anything about the card - but that Chase does have it; by invitation only. What are the different options you can add to the card? How can I get invited - i.e. do you have another number I can call? How do they check the 150K earnings requirment (it doesn't show on a credit report)? Thanks.

I called Visa back in May. At that time the reps were willing to give the Names of the Banks and their numbers that are offering the Visa Infinite Card. I got Chases number and called. They had just started offering Visa Infinite cards and the reps were willing to disclose information back then. Since May, I believe they may have change the structure of the card by not offering the tiered membership dues. As for verifying the income level, I think its just like other bank applications, they dont. However banks can generally tell ones income level by their Credit Report. If there is a need to verify income, they will call your employer or ask for verification (pay stubs or copy of tax returns)
