Amex Centurion Card eligibility in Australia

[iamsuperandrew]

Most airlines are actually 2:1, SQ is the exception. If you want SQ points there are better ways to get them than Amex

Please share?

Any suggestions - I value SQ

I would love to be offered the Centurian Card. I currently hold the Platinum Charge personal, and have had it for the last 5 years.
My spend this year so far has been just over $1 million, so the extra earn rate on the Centurian card will be worth it for me. I don’t think the other benefits will suit me much as truth be told I don’t travel anywhere near enough to make the most out of the perks.
At what point will they send me an invitation to join, or should I just put in an expression of interest??

I'm assuming you spend circa $1M a year, not $1M in the fist 4 days of Jan correct??

If it was 1M all personal, that should be enough..

If its bus and personal, probably not...

For me, I had to get spend up to the $2M per year mark for a few years (mix of bus and personal), and I put a fair whack through AMEX Travel on bus class flights and FHR, and maybe 30K through Langtons each year, before getting an invite. I think I put in 3 EOI's before success.

As others have said, just put in an EOI I guess, and keep at it

I wonder if anyone has been offered a Centurion with an annual spend of $150-200k pa ?

300k for me

 

[iamsuperandrew]

300k for me

I think Im between the $150-$250k mark, lets see what happens with this EOI

I just put in my 4th EOI and joined in August 2023.

2024-1.25m spending
2025- 1.8m expected

Many places charge a surcharge for Amex, but I don't pay for any purchase with card surcharge.

Amex needs to work with merchants to remove the surcharge so we would use the card more often.

Amex would need to reduce its merchant fee significantly which would mean there would be no more MR points for us as that’s what funds the ‘rewards’ points.

Yes, definitely meant in a year! lol
It is mostly business spend, I certainly don’t spend that much personally.
For me, cause a cent card will only mildly benefit me I probably won’t put in a EOI. I’m not fussed if they don’t invite me, but at the same time I’d happily join.

I got mine in 2009 and it was around 2-300k pa. Did call and conveyed my EOI and was invited not long after. I was told then to book some business class flights with them.
