There are 'Black' cards however these say less about your status than your willingness to stump up £200 or so per year for a bundle of benefits woth much less. The most difficult card to obtain that I know is the Barclaycard 'Simplicity' card which has a threshold twice that of a standard card. Ultimately credit cards as status symbols is probably a bit silly.
