Thanks for the feedback ;) Unfortunately $50K limit and both AMEX and BPay claim 'up to 3 days' to process payments via BPay, so I have avoided. Another obvious work around would be to open multiple bank accounts, but would be a bookkeeping nightmare. This new policy (of not being able to pay...

Frequent Flyers, I am hoping for some feedback regarding making payments onto Centurion. As you know the max payment AMEX will accept in one go is $100K... THEN (if the payment is coming from the same bank account) AMEX will only allow an additional amount to be paid after 76 hours has expired...

Confirming I just got an email from Centurion: Transfer 250,001 ~ 500,000 MR to Velocity, get 25% bonus, Gold Velocity Status until May 2019. Transfer 500,001 ~ 750,000 MR to Velocity, get 30% bonus, Platinum Velocity Status until May 2019. Unsure if Platinum Charge is the same. Probably...

I have just heard from my AMEX RM that AMEX are considering a Centurion bonus ontop of the 40%. If you have a Centurion then I would suggest holding off on transferring until month end to see what they come up with. I revert as soon as I hear more or if someone finds out in the meantime...

As mentioned by Steve, Confirming a $5K initiation fee then $5K per year after that.

Also contacting them and telling them you are interested helps too. I called up and they said they would 'consider it' then I got the invite a few months later

Yes. Centurion can be issued on turnover. When the invite came, I was not required to fill in another credit application stating my assets. I got a phone call asking me if I was interested and if I was OK with the establishment fee and annual fee, then the card came within 2 days. The $5K...

Worth noting that the Explorer card is part of the 'Gateway' points program and Centurion is part of 'Ascent'. The 'Gateway' points program burn rate is 3:4 where the 'Ascent' burn is 1:1

Yep. Insurance out the wazoo, which is nice. I think Chubb are looking after Centurion insurance now...

Welcome to the Club, Itsjustmagic :) Also confirming 'mobile phone screen protection' insurance is now included with Centurion (same as Explorer card) though there is nothing in writing I have seen from AMEX. I queried with my RM this week and she confirmed. I will have to make a claim soon...

Thanks for the update! Do you know if the 2ppd is capped or is it unlimited? Cheers

Yes confirming Ascent Premium Points Earn with Centurion as follows: 3 POINTS Tens of thousands of restaurants in Australia 2 POINTS Airlines, accommodation, major cruise and tour operators paid directly or through travel agencies Spend in foreign currency when overseas and online 1...

Lol. I started the thread, so if you want 'facts and figures' I suggest you go right back to page 1 and read the information back there. Don't think it's ever been mentioned as a credit card.. . There is limit in your Plat card. Just like there is a credit limit on Centurion. Call AMEX...

Just the facts ma'am, just the facts.

Ok. Then find another charge card with a higher credit limit and get back to us. If that ain't incentive enough for you, then you don't need the card :D

Speak with your accountant. You may be able to write off both the establishment fee and the annual fee as a 'bank fees'.

Hmm. The only suggestion I could make is to make a payment through the AMEX portal or by calling them (and debiting straight from your account) as then the payment goes onto the card straight away. Bpay can take 2 days or so to clear, so this may have caused the credit issue. When I am...

Hi Glen, I know this may be an older thread and you might have already got the info, but my experience was the below: 1. NAB Velocity Plat card... over $1M in the first year on the Velocity card (AMEX and VISA). 2. 12 months after using the NAB Plat card, applied for the AMEX Plat card... no...

Hi AFF members, As some of you may know, AMEX have chartered the Ghost 2 super yacht for the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race on boxing day. My partner and I are planning on going - and wondering if any other AFF / AMEX members will be on board? It would be nice to put some faces to...

Hi Glenn, I thought AMEX Platinum was uncapped for both Corp and personal spend (?) I've got a Centurion card (which comes with 4 x complimentary platinum cards for my staff and another complimentary Centurion for my partner) all credited to my MR account, uncapped. The bonus points (3 to...
