Worth the fee? Over hyped?
It looks good from what I've seen so far.

It's worth it for the lounges, etc if you travel somewhat alot.
The free ticket isn't always as good as it sounds as you do pay full retail price for your ticket, alot of times you can get '2' tickets from other places for the full retail price you would pay for '1'.
Amex black isn't as good either as it used to be. almost not worth the 2500.00 per yr anymore..
Just a high limit status card, some bennies are still ok..
