Amex Centurion Card eligibility in Australia

[daft009]

I’ll finish with some questions. Is the interest free statement period 44 or 55 days for the centurion? And I’ve herd there is some Langtons wine vouchers totalling $500 per year, true?

Thanks.

44 days.
langtons offer is spend $500 and get $250 back. think its an annual credit

Yes, but pretty sure 2 are available per year?!

Did you speak to someone special about this? I apply every 3 months and never heard anything. They always ask the same questions. I think I might start lying and say I'm a travel vlogger or something so they might give it to me or something. I really want this card

I kinda used to feel like that.. And now that i have one... not so much... its still super cool, but most people have no idea.. it only vaguely impress's a fairly small set of people... and i would finish with that its no where as exclusive as it was say 10 years ago..

Having said all that, i am very happy with the cost benefit equation.. it suits me and my circumstances nicely..

I was putting through circa 2-2.5M a year on the plat, (circa 75:25 bus/ personal), and using Langtons and FHR and AMEX travel for bus class long haul quite a bit, b4 getting an invite..

So 2M bus, or 500K personal seems to be about the territory, from everything I've seen and heard.

Best wishes!

Something tells me @Franko Costa doesn't want it for the prestige, but rather the additional 0.25 points per dollar!

i think I'm weird for wanting this card more than having a porche/ferrari/rolex/ etc haha
having this card brings me a lot more joy

Yeah, understand, i was mostly the same.. but I've changed a bit on that front also.. Weather i earn 10 million amex points a year, or only 9 million is kinda meh now.....

At some point, i think by the time you are offered a Cent card, then the amount of money and points sloshing around kinda start to make chasing a few extra points here and there irrelevant.

The recent Centurion Ferrari drive day in QLD was a truly memorable day! I concur re the joy

I don't care about how cool the card looks, it only for the extra points that I want it. All my travel is done with points so I don't use the portal that much.

I was tempted to spend $100k on the platform albut cancel after 6 months to see if I can get the offer within that time, but it's an expensive bet for $2.5k from the offset.
