You might be right but given how bad T1 is and also the fact that a lot of business travelers take LUV, many probably already hold a Platinum card. The risk to reward for Amex Centurion would be totally worth it. If it does not take off, write off $10 million in losses. If it does, you are opening doors to a much wider audience.
