“When you step out of the elevator to go into the lounge, it’s dimly lit, and it’s got this Centurion logo on the floor in lights,” said the 38-year-old financial-technology worker. “It feels really like you’re going to something exclusive.”

Customers who pay $5,000 a year for the Centurion Card, better known as the Black Card, can walk into the lounge whenever they please and reserve meeting or event spaces.Everyone else needs a reservation. Platinum cardholders, like Remy, who pay $695 a year, can try to reserve a table through Amex’s concierge service. Those without either card must call a phone number that only works two hours a day.

I can't believe I share oxygen with people who pay more per year just to carry a credit card than I pay for 2/3rds of my yearly cost of living in total.

These people vote exclusively Democrat and spend the rest of their free time telling everyone else how they should live.
