AMEX Centurion

[Foreigner]

I used to have a Centurion in Uk but when I moved to Australia I downgraded to the platinum and get my limit of 1.5 points on the charge and credit cards for $900. If you use the points for flights it really is a bonus. I must admit I've been ridiculing the cost of Centurion card over here compared to UK but the points are way better than in the UK; it was 1.5 per GBP spent over here it's 1.5 per A$ even taking into account the record Au$ exchange rate that's still fairly generous. Still say the Platinum card is the best value if you just use it to get the points. All that waffle about we can get you tickets for the best shows & sporting events etc is a joke. All they do is ring up some tout (scalper) and charge you ridiculous amounts for the privilege.

I'm in agreement with those views. The Platinum card becomes even more attractive with discounting of the annual fee. That cost for the Centurion is prohibitive and unless I won lotto, I cant be convinced of parting with my hard-earned dollars.

I think Foreigner was referring to the AMEX Plat charge card in his post and comparing the two levels of membership. You don’t get a QF Platinum FF membership with the Centurion card.
