What are peoples $ spend and categories spend %s approx. to be getting Centurion invites if you don't mind me asking?
I was accosted by an AMEX rep at a trade show in LAS last week - got chatting and indicated I previously held Cent in Oz but could not justify the 5K ann fee - she indicated Cent ann fee in USA now 7.5K - she was not forthcoming with info on benefits but my god that fee is getting up there. Anybody here have clues on USA benefits?
Thanks exp1k... Do you know when the promo started?
I flew 1st on Etihad 03/07/15... wondering where I can find more info?
Cheers
I thought you get bonus points only on overseas spend, restaurants, hotels and flights.
f all your spend is in these categories, then your calculation is right and it is definitely worth it.
I certainly don't do all my spend in those categories but would easily do $250k per year, so that would net me another 450k in points without modifying behaviours (plus get a sexy metal black card!) - excellent!
That bonus point structure is the same for plat charge and cent. I think you should head back to the websites for both to check your numbers.
3 ppd for restaurants/dining
2 ppd for oseas and travel related spend.
1 ppd for the rest (0.5 for some services)
So you may not currently be hitting the caps, depending. It was a long time ago that plat earned 1.5ppd for everything.
