And that is every year. Beats those Centurion perks and the card is only £60 a year!

The good thing about charge card is that once you built up ur relationship with Amex, you can easily charge 50K a month to the card for your business expense, unfortunately, my bmi credit card has only 7k limit, and always have problems with a single transaction over 4-5K. Moreover, this year, Amex offered me double MR points for 3 months, with no limits, which I took advantage, earned me extra 120K MR points.

so I would say, it all depends on each individual's circumstance .
