Amex Centurion invitation

Hi all

No idea. I've seen the list floating around the internet that it is offered if you spend 250k per year with Amex and have a net worth of 16 million.

I got (and refused) the offer without meeting either criteria though.

I had an invitation a few years ago. I definitely don't have a net worth of $16m but do spend over $250k/year. I declined it because it was hard to see the value in the $10k sign up fee and $5k annual fee based on my travel and lifestyle habits at the time. It really only would be suitable for people who have money to throw away and I can't ever see myself being like that no matter how much my disposal income is.

i called and asked if i would be eligible. In 48hours, i was accepted. If you want one, i can get one of the Centurion agents to contact you? I do not gain any commission or $$ for asking this (just FYI). the benefits are plenty (but you have to be on the road/air quite a bit to enjoy these). My luggage got delayed by 24hrs and they paid $2000 to buy new set of clothes, no questions asked, few free concert tickets, elite status with airlines and hotels (to name a few). I have to say, the new devaluation is going to make me think twice about continuing though.

or alternatively ask for Jennifer Hayden at The Centurion team.

Hi Mspcooper, could you please list out the elite statuses you get?

You definitely do not need to have a specific net worth. They gauge and invite mostly on historical spend, generally north of $250k per annum.

I was an invite when Centurion first came to Australia and held it for about ten years.

I received an invitation 12 months ago with an offer to waive the joining fee - only had to pay the annual fee. Worthwhile for very frequent travellers, if you don’t spend at least one week per month on the road, stick with Platinum.

if you are on the road quite a lot, the centurion's perks are really not the appealing. It is not hard to get oneworld emerald and marriott platinum just by doing a few overseas trips per year. The Explorer + PT edge combo is far superior if you put a lot of spending through the card. However after next April, the combo is dead.

I was offered it after spending approx $6k a week through my business and i booked all my flights and hotels through amex travel. After 4 months of doing this i was offered the Centurion. I agree that $5k a year is high and the perks have become less each year.
