As you know, all CENT members offer SPG GOLD and HH GOLD VIP memberships. Not SPG Plat, HH Diamond.
The CLUB 5C membership of R&C was presented in US CENT.
If this membership is presented, Canada CENT is excellent, I think.
CLUB 5C membership is really great!
Thanks,
masahiro

Spending pattern to be eligible for the Centurion?
Hey there,
Anyone know what sort of annual spending amount is required for Amex to be tempted to send you a Centurion application?
Cheers,

I will try to do a comparison between what I am offered here and the C card's in other countries so when I phone next week for more details I will have a bit more insight into the differences and can ask why the Cdn card doesn't include things that are available elsewhere. I will also compare the Cdn C card benefits with my existing Platinum benefits before I phone.
I see that there is a current thread with changes to the UK card that I could use.
Any one have details of other countries' C cards so I can compare?

In Saudi Arabia they introduced the C card recently ( like just 4 weeks ago)
my uncle got the invetation, the invetation state that if you are interested call us and they will make a visit to his office. anyhow, they came, explained the card features and he accepted the card. there is no initiation fees but the annual fee is $US 3000
he got the Hilton Gold, IC platinum but no Starwood card.
i will post the full details when i see him in 2 months.

US Plat Upgrade perhaps?
I hope there will be an upgrade in US Plat card benefits given the demise the much loved 2:1 Domestic airfare program that I only had a chance to use once

SPG Gold and HH Gold, both indefinitely
Used to be SPG Platinum, but no more. I think that the Centurion benefits are wearing rather thin at the current 1000 Euro/year price tag (roughly $1600 Canadian) that they charge in Germany - and I didn't have to pay any initiation fee. No way that I would ever fork over $7,500 for the Canadian Centurion package.

Just read the (very many) reviews in the thread dedicated to the Canadian Centurion.
