Could this be it?. AMEX Centurion??

Creditplz · ‎09-20-2021

I received a call from American Express with a request for 4506T today after I requested invitation for the centurion card at; https://iforms.americanexpress.com/iFormsSecure/un/iforms.do?cuid=centurionEx_en_US&evtsrc=link&evtt...

the rep said it's in regards to a request I made, on my personal platinum.

If my calculations are correct from statements I've ran about 319k YTD on the card mainly for business expenses and have a chase account strictly to pay my Amex & Chase business cards.

I got jittery and said OKAY ILL SEND IT IMMMMMEDIATELY!, the rep laughed (US based) and said it's a pleasure to welcome you.

Here's hoping!!!! WOOHOO!! Good luck!

I always seem to read about the high fees, the initiation fee and the concierge but I'd be curious to know what other features set it apart. I guess any service you deem necessary answers that but I'd love to hear them. For example, I think I've used their Concierge only a few times and didn't feel it was any more effective than my own process for getting tickets/reservations myself.

Looking forward to your update.

As someone who will never even come close : this is super exciting to see. I hope this is it for you so you can share the glee with the class

Congrats hah, I like that feeling.

What are the perks of the Centurion that make it worthwhile to you?

I wish you luck and success, reading an approval post here on MF would for me be a real treat. Would likely generate some latent hate from a few of the posters in FT's AMEX subforum though, a number of hopefuls hang out (or at least used to hang out) there.

FWIW - the personal Centurion is a lot stricter and more selective to qualify than the business version, especially in the past 5-10 years. So, if approved (or upgraded) pics or it didn't happen!

Eons ago, I received an unsolicitied invite for biz Centurion, but it just wasn't for me (although AmEx did their best to be persuasive in their courtship). It's a very nice card (as far as the wow factor goes) but that's about it.
