Thought I'd drop back in to see if much has changed, and to update my experience..
So after 4 yrs of plat charge card ownership, and growing the amount I put through the card every year, still no centurion invite.
I currently spend 80-100K a month on the charge card, and 30-40K on my platinum edge.
I would have thought that spending circa $1.5M a year through AMEX would have done the trick..
Clearly there is more to it..
And just to flesh it out a bit, there is absolutely 0 ATO spend in that..
Yes, its a lot of business spend, but a lot of personal also.. including good spend on the amex travel platform..
I haven't asked for one yet, its probably only just starting to make sense now, to have one now that travel is coming back...
I will ask for a review between now and xmas, and will come back with how it goes.
But i guess my point is, (as we collectively try to add to the body of knowledge) that pure spend volume doesn't seem to matter too much..
In fact on that, perhaps they would rather offer it to people that spend 100-250K a year, OVER people that spend millions, because there is a better delta on the points earn value vs annual fee for the 100-250K accounts, than the multi million accounts?? Who knows!
