The Black Card is actually Borgata's mid-tier to upper-tier card -- sort of like Mlife Platinum and TR Diamond. You can't rightly invite Mlife customers to come to Borgata and give them the same Red Card any schmuck off the street can get.
By the way, Borgata has another card that I don't see mentioned on its website called "Titanium" that Borgata provides to its .05%/whales. This tier scheme is actually very similar to the Seminole properties in Florida, which has two public card levels ("Wild" and "Elite") the "secret" X-Card for their best customers. I'm sure some marketing genius/consultant told them this was a good idea.
Full disclosure: I do not have either a titanium card, but have seen a couple get flashed at Borgata and asked a Slot Attendant what it was. I also do not have an X Card, which you need to get into the Plum Lounge at the Seminole Hard Rock, but one of my neighbors (who has also flown on the Seminole jet and seriously needs to call 1-800-Admit-It) has one.
The Plum Lounge is really awesome and might be the best Player's Lounge I've ever been in. The Seminoles have been pouring some cash into high-level improvements at their properties lately, which brings me to my second favorite subject -- Casino Shitters, and I gotta say that the mens' room in the Tampa Hard Rock High Limit Area is second only to the shitters at the now-closed Revel, which was the most gorgeous throne room I've ever seen.
