BTW, Pickles, the Amex Centurion card doesn't get one through the "Clear" lines (or through some express TSA line), nor does it get one "First Class" upgrades on our birthdays.

I guess a specific question about HK shopping might be is the $1,000 Mikimoto gift card sent to select Amex Centurion card holders good at the Mikimoto store at the IFC (the literature that came with the card mentioned good at Mikimoto retail stores, but only listed those in the U.S.)?

Thanks in advance.
