I see you say this in your sig but I have no idea what this means/accomplishes.

THat's my final goal. I read on the forum that you must spend 25k on amex plat monthly to get invited to Centurion. LEt's say Amex approved me for amex plat. Then I charged 5k on the card. Does that mean I need to pay 5k at the end of the month? or do they have monthly payment system like visa or mastercard?
You pay 5K. There is no minimum payments, you must pay off your entire balance by the end of your statement.
Do you really need Platinum and Centurion?
Duh. How else would I get Platanium?
They tie together so both act as one.
I've had 'pre-approved' for Amex Plat show up whenever I log on to my Amex account for many years. Is the high AF really worth it?

Let me share my experience with the MB plat
Hit the $1000 spend in a couple weeks. Got a bunch of extra points through the mall, booked travelicity at 3X for my upcoming trip as well.
Used airline credit for AA gift cards for a flight I was going to purchase anyway.
Now down to $275. MB $100 giftcard, get a jacket for my mother who likes MB stuff, it was about time I got her something anyway
Now 175 effectively. When I get global entry $100 and I can get through customs quickly when I return from the London trip. AF is now $75...
Concierge just helped with some really difficult dining stuff in Phoenix -- my cousin and her husband have terrible allergies to just about everything ^_^'.
Even found me a gluten free dessert that can be delivered to the restaurant.
Food and drinks with the priority pass on my next trip (air france graf lounge has food now)....
Effectively this brings my AF to 0 (in my mind)... 50,000 bonus MR plus my current points=free r/t to Australia or Singapore.
Worth it? To me yes. I don't run 100k per year through my cards but I do travel and it presents a good value to me.
For booking most airfare I'll use the PR gold. If the numbers all come out well ahead when that's up for renewal next year I'll keep both.
