How much is the American Express Black Card credit limit?

The American Express Black Card’s requirements are rumored to include being an Amex cardholder for at least a year, spending over $100,000 annually on American Express credit cards, and annual income of at least $1 million.

There is a steep "initiation fee" of $10,000 and an annual fee of $5000.… read full answer

One way to estimate what credit limit you might get on an American Express card is to read customer reviews of the card. People will often post what limit they received, sometimes with their credit score and income. On Amex cards for good credit, people seem to report starting with limits of $1,000-$5,000 most often. But you should take any of these numbers with a grain of salt. Just because someone with a similar credit score or income got a certain limit, it doesn’t mean you will, too.

The difference is that qualified applicants who get approved for one of the highest end credit cards will find themselves with credit limits, benefits, and rewards that are far superior to what's available from a regular, everyday credit card. In other words, the highest end credit cards are at the intersection of the best credit card offers on the market and the most prestigious options.
