Diamond VIP Credit Card

The Eurasian Bank in Kazakhstan has come up with a very glamorous way of honoring their VIP members: they're issuing them limited edition VISA cards embedded with diamonds and accented with gold.

Said to be the first of its kind in the world, the card is reserved only for the elite few members of the bank that have incomes of $300,000 a year or greater. The cards have an elaborate gold filigree design in the shape of a heart that features a 0.02 carat diamond in the center.

Crazy.

The Diamond-Studded Master Card

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Services

Here at Luxist we cover all kinds of things studded with diamonds but this just might be a first for us: a diamond-studded credit card.

The Dubai First Royale MasterCard will be available only in Dubai (darnit!) and by invitation only to even further limit its distribution. Those who are lucky enough to get one of these cards will enjoy not so surprising features like unlimited credit, special deals, and access to VIP benefits at companies around the world, but perhaps most noteworthy is what the actual credit card looks like. It's black with a gold metal border and it features a crest in the center with a real diamond embedded in the middle.

No word on just how big the diamond is (or what the actual value of the card itself is) but that's one card I would be taking very careful care of.

Extreme Credit Cards for the Biggest Spenders in the World

Filed under: Gadgets, Celebrity Shopping

Wealthy patrons with shopping addictions are a tempting customer base for creditors, and so more and more of them are coming up with ways to make their services attractive to the biggest spenders in the world. The Centurion card from American Express is the leading status symbol to date, with its classy black card made of titanium that comes with exclusive perks like a personal concierge (to help you plan your spending) and special treatment at all the top retailers.

But the Centurion, better known simply as the "Black Card," is getting some competition for the top of the prestigious credit card pyramid. Companies like Bank of America and Citigroup are coming up with their own versions, and it seems the greatest competition so far is from the Visa Stratus Rewards card, aka the "White Card." And in the U.K. there's always the Ozwald Boateng-designed Coutts & Co.'s World card from the same private bank Queen Elizabeth uses.
