DNW,

This sounds about right for AMEX. They can't make there mind up about Centurion, I asked to be considered and they looked at my account and I was not spending enough, avergae bill is £1500, last month was £4500. This months should have been around £3000 but not due to difficulties using card in France. Methinks I'll be speaking to Centurion again tomorrow and asking them to reconsider before I start using my VISA again by default as I never have any acceptance issues there.

BTW, I take it that your Black Centurion box contained the Card itself and the little card reader that goes with it?

Thanks,
Richard
