The "green" card has a yearly fee of $45 and has a certain (reasonable)
charge limit.  College students with an offer of a $15,000 job can get one.

The "gold" card gives you a bigger charge limit, a bigger yearly fee,
more status, a higher income to qualify and a few extra features like
a real line-of-credit (around $5000 I think).

The "platinum" card has a huge fee ($1500?), allows a tremendous charge 
limit, and is only available to those people who travel over 10,000 (or is
it 100,000) miles a year.
