This is very much Amex's paid for status symbol.

I guess what I'm trying to ascertain is at what point do Amex consider some one valuable enough to waive the $4300 annual fee?
If some one spends say, over $2m per year on their card, is that valuable enough?
What do you think?

simongr said:$2M/year may not be all personal spend - it wouldnt be that unreasonable for a trades person to push that much through their Amex card (obviously a senior trade rather than some 18 year old buying gyprock for a kitchen refit).
simongr said:I do agree though that we are unlikely to see many replies indicating a waiver has been received. In fact I only recall seeing 2 people on these forums flag that they have a centurion card...

kito said:Hi all
My recent encounter was that Amex called to offer me a free Platinum Business charge card for as long as I hold my Centurion. I perceive the value of free delivery of the weekend AFR, BRW and business info at no extra cost plus 1.5 MR for upto $250K spend as good incentive when I don't get 1.5MR per dollar spend after my $500K spend on Centurion card. Annual fee for that business card would have cost me $1200.
Thanks
Kito
beardoc said:Oh, to be able to run up expenses such as this!
I have this card also, but centnox has less of a ring about it. NYCguy, of course Chanel are open to bargaining, although I know it's less likely to occur when shopping in pairs... BTW I haven't heard about any waivers for this card personally in Oz, but I did read something in the U.S press (within about the last 6 months) about this, but can't locate the news article to share. Apologies.simongr said:I do agree though that we are unlikely to see many replies indicating a waiver has been received.
