    2013 Centurion Benefits

    Why would you say this???? It was declared on both the customs and shipping forms as being exactly what it was. An iPhone.

    2013 Centurion Benefits

    I agree with spamalert. I have been a Centurion member since 2006 and have never found their concierge/lifestyle services competent except for the most trivial of tasks. Taken from a previous thread on the subject, here are my two Centurion concierge stories. 1) I wanted to get a friend a...

    2013 Centurion Benefits

    i received the call from cx marco polo early this week regarding the centurion diamond mp benefit. the rep (a man) was very friendly and said he was calling because cx wanted to understand why i wasn't using the benefit of my diamond membership. i told him that although cx may not see the...

    Would anyone be interested in a AFF "Centurion Members" Dinner / Drinks night?

    i'm in hayden. perhaps we can have the concierge arrange everything, including coordinating everything with the aff members so you don't have to do all the work? we can see how they do.

    Centurion Concierge Service: Fact or Fiction???

    Here are two of my Centurion Concierge stories. 1) I wanted to get a friend a particular Hermes wallet that was no longer made for his 35th birthday. I sent the Centurion Lifestyles Team (Centurion Concierge Service) an email and explained that Hermes had stopped making the wallet several...

    US based cards - removal of conversion fees for overseas transactions (Plat/Cent)

    i would love to help initiate a group revolt against this forex surcharge. here in australia we pay amongst the highest card fees ($4300 per year) for one of, if not the, most benefits poor centurion cards in the world. further, last year they changed the ts and cs so that when we do pay the...

    Costco

    i have been a costco member for more than a decade (starting in the usa, now melbourne) and shop costco in both countries quite frequently. in both business ethics and product quality, costco is very different than walmart. while i have seen levis for sale at low prices at costco many times...

    Centurion 2011 Benefits

    cts australia finally just got back to me to tell me there were definitely no current plans to offer cx diamond status to centurion members. since i know this is false, it's a bit funny (but unfortunately typical) to have them confirming things that are untrue. if it's not 'til may here in...

    Centurion 2011 Benefits

    i'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one that centurion loves to promise to "get back to" and then never follows up. this seems to be happening ever more frequently and is a sad reflection on the level of service they provide. as i mentioned in a previous post, when the australian...

    Centurion 2011 Benefits

    thanks diesellife, i called both the main number and cts and (of course) they know nothing about it. so i called idc centurion (uk) and it's confirmed for idc centurions that we get cx marco polo diamond status effective april 11. for the idc i was told, the cx diamond benefit is only for...

    AmEx Centurian

    Re: AMEX Centurion unfortunately, if you want a usa issued amex charge card the highest you'll be able to get with a global transfer is the platinum card. the usa will not transfer into a centurion. the usa platinum still gets the 0% forex.

    AmEx Centurian

    Re: AMEX Centurion i did this last may. you cannot get the us centurion but can get the icc centurion in either usd or euro. i had to fax them the most recent 6 months of my australian centurion statements and then they sent me an application (there is an application for the icc...

    Centurion 2011 Benefits

    did any other australian centurion members receive these? i just received mine yesterday. US$1,000 gift card for an orient express train/cruise and US$500 gift card for orient express hotel. nice but not a true freebie as it will cost you to use it unless you were already planning on...

    AMEX Centurion - I can't decide whether to accept...

    my 2 cents: unless you can justify paying $3400 for the caché of showing off titanium wallet jewellery i think you'd be frustrated trying to justifying additional value from what you are already receiving with your platinum card if you decide to "upgrade" to centurion. as other posters have...

    Centurion Invitation

    i could not agree more. as my 4th centurion anniversary approaches (read: 4th time $4300 annual fee) i'm once again really struggling to justify its value. without a doubt, it is the best wallet jewellery you can wear, but objectively, there is little that i find that compensates for its...

    Bad American Express Centurion Card Insurance Experience

    my post was not a "complaint" nor was it a "whinge". describing it in those terms demeans the purpose of why i took the time to share my experiences with the board. as i stated clearly, i posted my experience so that others could learn from my errors and would not repeat my mistake of...

    Bad American Express Centurion Card Insurance Experience

    thanks. i know they would have given me some form of compensation but i didn't ask for anything more than the hotel, transport and food vouchers. ba handled the debacle very well in my eyes and i wasn't concerned with requesting anything more when i was standing in line at the customer service...

    Bad American Express Centurion Card Insurance Experience

    i agree. and the purpose of my post was to help others realise what the hidden term "destination point" actually means so that they don't get caught out like i did. i assumed that mis-connecting and being without luggage at any point in my itinerary was a "destination point". after all, they...

    Bad American Express Centurion Card Insurance Experience

    i agree. i don't think it would be that expensive (considering the $4300 annual fee we pay) and i think it would do a lot more for good will and the public image of peace of mind that amex centurion are promoting as reasons for carrying their cards. instead they are delivering a...

    Bad American Express Centurion Card Insurance Experience

    i'm now hearing from quite a few people who have had bad experiences with axa. it appears that they have a reputation for denying claims whenever they can. i wonder why amex and especially centurion use them as their insurance provider. perhaps this is another one of their cost saving measures.
