With no (or very little travel) the Centurion card really gives you no advantage other that the personal ego boost of having one. Yes it gets noticed but by the time you flash it you are not going to get any better service or recognition from the store/restaurant.
If most of the real benefits are useless to you might I suggest you take the initiation and annual fees and donate them to a local shelter or charity where at least someone or some family can get a benefit so many times larger than what you receive and you'd have the personal satisfaction of truly helping someone out....................................
