Why is it so interesting to have insider information on an Amex card? The answer is because the Centurion/Black Amex is the top tier card and is very exclusive and secretive. You cannot apply for the Centurion/Black card, you have to be invited...and you have to be rich. The qualification details are not published but assumptions are that a spend of more than US$250k per year on a Platinum card is required. The upfront fees measure in the thousands of dollars year. As you well see from the Centurion Card geocity page the benefits vary country by country but basically you get:
- Top tier status and lounge access with a major carrier
- Top tier with a series of hotels
- Concierge services including booking travel and guaranteed seats/tables
- Travel insurance
- Limo collection and drop off from/to airports; and
- A very sexy titanium card, luggage tags and packets of marketing materials
UPDATE - Lots more information and commentary on the Black American Express card here at the Black Card Forum (reg'd required)
