Come on guys, it's just a credit card. If you want to be a big wig, get the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and/or Palladium--I have both and every single transaction I get someone who says something. Also, having had the Centurion card for years (I canceled, reopened, and now finally canceled) I am so much happier with Chase. AMEX is like an abusive lover. When you're with her you think there's nowhere better to go, but there is. I didn't even apply for my Chase cards, I wrote a e-mail address saying I am done with Centurion etc and they responded, had a credit analyst look at my credit and Fedex'd me my cards overnight. I never had a late payment with AMEX, spent roughly 900k/year on my personal card accounts (SPG and Centurion) and yet my card was frozen 21 times and payments were always held. It was unbelievable. Finally decided to stop being held ransom to Financial Reviews and requests for tax information. Chase knows me, they like me, and there are no midnight surprises like them calling me demanding payment by day's end, etc. Only issue I have with Chase is they don't instantly free up credit if I make a payment, takes a day, but I can overlook that. Sapphire Preferred line is better than Amex Centurion any day. Ring, a person is there and I don't have to endlessly verify my information.
