This year's ranking of black credit cards by the Forbes monthly has looked at 14 black cards issued by banks to the most affluent Customers. As in the two previous years, the Millennium MasterCard World Signia/Elite VIP card came 1st. the authors of the ranking list looked at the service packs and insurance added to the cards, the amount of maximum credit limit, fees for using the card as well as its functionality and convenience of use.

Also availability of numerous rebates in shops in the "Inspiracje" Programme was taken into consideration and the extensive Priority Pass programme for card holders. Together with the credit card the Customer will get a free-of-charge named prestigious Priority Pass card, which is an international pass to over 600 exclusive lounges at airports in more than 100 countries around the world – regardless of ticket type or class and for any number of accompanying persons.
 
The credit card, offered to the most affluent customers, should be not only a modern and convenient payment instrument, but should also provide access to a number of unique privileges. This next victory of Millennium MasterCard World Signia/Elite VIP card in the prestigious ranking confirms that it is perfectly matched to the lifestyle of even the most demanding Customers - says Tomasz Misiak, Director of the Retail Banking Marketing Department in Bank Millennium.

Apart from the generous pack of assistance and concierge services, the card also provides access to additional programmes, e.g. World Signia MasterCard Privileges Europe, which involves a wide array of rebates and privileges worldwide. Moreover frequent use of the black card brings benefits – cardholders who participate in World MasterCard Rewards, get points for using the card. The points can then be exchanged for air tickets or hotel bookings. The Bank Millennium card moreover gives its holders a sense of security thanks to a number of insurance packs with high guaranteed sums insured (i.a. up to EUR 1 million for costs of medical treatment abroad and EUR 500,000 to cover the cost of accidents during international travel). The insurance also provides cover to family members, even if they are travelling without the cardholder. What is important is that the insurance cover remains valid irrespective of whether the card was used to pay for the trip or not – the insurance is activated automatically.
