American Express Centurion Business (Black) Card

[Anonymous]

I recently inquired with Amex about an invitation to apply for the American Express Centurion Business (Black) Card. I currently have the American Express Business Platinum and 6 other Amex cards with a yearly spend over $1 Million. I have read a lot of differing requirements.  If anyone has asked for an invitation and been approved, please share your experience with the approval process and any requirements.

Definitely curious to hear how this pans out as to a response from Amex.  From my simple reading about that card in the past, business spend should be 500k+ yearly across your cards which obviously you already double currently.   That would definitely be a huge perk card with that kind of spend and I'm shocked there wasn't already an invitation honestly. Unfortunately I do not have experience to give any life changing data points, yet.

This was not the first time that I have asked, but this time when I called customer service they let me speak to someone from Centurion customer service who told me that he would put me on a list and if I qualified that they would reach out the next time that they are sending out applications. I know that it's by invitation only but a couple people that I have talked to called to ask to be invited and one or two were invited to apply. I'll be sure and post the outcome if I get an application.

Without any further experience of course, I see 2 positive signs already:  

1.  They had no issue allowing you to speak to the almighty CSR of the Centurion team (If there is a separation in that regard) and

2.  Stated if qualified, you'll be added to the list. 

Obviously you qualify from the math, so I'd predict it's just a matter of time before you get a 'hopefully' early Xmas gift.  Again, curious to hear how this pans out to understand the process more.

Contacted Amex about a year ago, spoke to Centurion CS rep.  Got the invite in August and received the card a couple days later.

What did you say to the centurion rep?

Told them that I would be interested in Centurion when they did the next round of invites.

Thank you.  I will tell them the same.
