    Citibank Platinum CC won't let me buy my lotto ticket.

    This is due to Citibank not supporting gambling or online gambling. It changed a few years back after online gaming was restricted in the USA. You can't use any citibank cards on any online gambling websites to this date.

    Centurion Concierge Service: Fact or Fiction???

    I find Centurion Lifestyle equally as poor as the commnets above. I wanted a particular brand of clothing in the USA when I was travelling, called the Australian number and asked them to locate it in either San Francisco or Las Vegas two days later, they couldn't find any stockist and assured...

    Thai Business Class to Hong Kong + Mandarin Oriental

    Nice Trip report. Thanks. I'm pretty sure that the 747SP did or still does belong to Las Vegas Sands Corporation, used to fly high rollers around the world!

    AMEX Fine Hotels n Resorts

    sometimes the rates are lower then best availibe (have found this to be the case at Grand Hyatt Melbourne at times). Otherwise they seem to be competitive!

    Centurion - Club VIP Access

    Centurion 2011 Benefits

    There are seperate events for Centurion which can be alright at times. The Fat Duck was only for Centurion I believe and not open to Platinum Cards.

    I got a bottle of wine today from Centurion, interesting though mine was 2008 not 2000! However my renewal date is a good 6 months away yet!

    AMEX not accepted or surcharge

    Called Centurion to book me a booth at the Long Room Melbourne (a centurion partner). Paid for a drink at the bar with an Amex card and copped a 3%+ surcharge, pretty peeved at the one! Surely amex shouldn't sign up partners which are going to surcharge.

    AMEX not accepted or surcharge

    surprised that the Langham surcharged given they are a Fine Hotels and Resorts partner! (assuming you mean the Melbourne property) I wonder if they apply 1.5% to the FHR rate given it has to be settled by amex according to the terms and conditions would be very annoyed if they did!

    AMEX not accepted or surcharge

    Parking today in the Melbourne CBD (SecurePark Flinders Lane) was the first time I had seen 2% surcharge for every other card except Amex. Thought it might have been a misprint but sure enough no surcharge was added, a pleasant surprise!

    AMEX Centurion

    They seem pretty competitive, and have recently introduced a "price guarantee" that they will be cheaper then any other travel agent. However the service that I have recieved the times i have booked via them has meant i will never use them again for booking flights. I only use them for booking...

    Is CBA PLAT the best CBA card for $200K+ income?

    To get the card for free ask to talk to a relationship manager... They waived the fee for 2 platinum cards for my wife and I (I'm guessing they will only do this if you do a bit of business with them). However the card product I don't think is very good as mentioned above. Would be intereseting...

    Centurion Invite 2010

    Another unpublished benifit is the Hilton Honours is Diamond not Gold. At least this was the case for the Main and Supplementary card holder this year. However I do believe the $4300 represents extremely marginal value for the service which the Australian card offers. The service centre is...

    Platinum Card, what will I get for $900

    I have got several of my additional cards off my centurion account (previously a Platinum CC) who are uni students with no income. I don't think you should have a problem.
