Centurion 2011 Benefits

[Jane-Doe]

Does anyone know if the Qantas Club offered in Cent for both the primary and sup cent card holder or just one?:?:

Just a single membership, but it can be the primary OR the supplementary cardholder

So I’m looking at the published benefits of Centurion, and this site... to try and work out a $ value over and above platinum:

• Qantas Club x 1 = $840.00
• CX Diamond
• 2 x Priority pass instead of 1 $500?
• Hilton Honours Diamond $?
• Intercontinental Hotels Group Platinum $?
• Avis Presidents Club $?
• Mandarin Oriental 1 Free night when you buy one $400?
• Insurances etc same
• It seems to me that the flight cost benefits etc are the same as platinum
• Membership rewards up to extra 175k points per year
• “w&*k factor” $?
• The odd gift / promotion i.e. voucher for orient express... $500?
• Most “by invitation” seem to be open to platinum and centurion? I.e. Fat Duck etc

Am I missing anything or have I got anything wrong?

It seems like you get at least 2/3 of the way without travel benefits.

.

There are seperate events for Centurion which can be alright at times. The Fat Duck was only for Centurion I believe and not open to Platinum Cards.

I think demand must have been a little low and so they opened it up to Platinum as it was on the iPlat site today. What sort of events have they offered in 2011?

I would not say the insurances are the same. Centurion offers more than Platinum.

Yes more money if you are killed or lose a limb - that makes it worth more

I think the major difference with insurance is that you are automatically covered, even if you don't charge a single cent of the trip to your amex card.

Also I don;t think the excess cover on car rentals is covered in Plat.

Sorry, wrong and wrong again. Platinum charge insurance has both those benefits.

From comments here, I believe the differences are mainly the amount of coverage (death etc), possibly the amount of the payment for travel delay, and possibly not requiring all expenses incurred for a travel delay to be charged to the card.

For the most part, the insurance levels are quite comparable - much closer than any of the other insurances Amex offer with cards.

Be careful on this one! I noted last year in my "updated" T&Cs on the Platinum Charge Card that you had to now spend a minimum of $100 of the "trip costs" in order to have the insurance... Which IMHO is coughpy :evil: as the $900 really should cover that.

Are you sure about this? The last PDS i looked at stated that the insurance is valid as long as you hold a valid Platinum Charge Card (i.e not necessary to spend anything on the trip, you'll be covered regardless).

If what you said is right, then it significantly devalues the travel insurance.

Hmm well I was sure but just downloaded the PDS from the iPlat site and can't find it, maybe I got confused with the free credit card I have... I will check the filing cabinet tonight

You should call them because it appears every Cent member is getting a bottle.

Wasn't the world most memorable wine, but it has certainly done the job

Yeah but I think it would sound a bit, you know, sad if I did that.

Sounds pretty exclusive if just around 10000 cardholders worldwide:
