The Facebook advertising probably won't help tip the scales towards the invite, although possibly an invite for the Business Centurion. A few years ago, the Google Adsense advertisers were all qualifying for the card based on spend but it seems AmEx is being a little more cautious these days.
The travel expenditures, particularly luxury travel, should get their attention and seems to be more important these days for an invite -- based on anecdotal evidence from various threads.

Something is not adding up
Not necessarily. AmEx is not as quick to give out Centurion invites anymore for internet marketing spend, particularly for a member / account that is not very old.

Congrats on your success and sensibility re: saving. Keep it up and you will likely get the black card, particularly as you have now expressed interest to AmEx.
