Centurion Card - Is it worth it?

[Deleted member]

Ok, I had to say it:

The Centurion has a great travel insurance while the insurance of the Platinum card is worthless!

AMEX: Don't mess with the Centurion insurance. We are paying you $4300/year. That should be more than enough to provide us with a comprehensive travel insurance!

For $4300 per year I can buy travel insurance , keep my plat Amex. And buy a BNE - LHR return airfare ( on special)

That depends on who you believe with regards to when these changes come into effect:

Thanks.

My own experience is opposite; I've recently had extensive discussion with my account manager about what is and is not covered and they exceeded my expectations. I've got nothing but praise for the service provided and in particular, the insurance cover. Assuming of course the glass is half full and they will actually do what I understood they have promised to do. (I think there are still a few muddied Queenslanders who have such issues with other insurers).
