REPLY TO STEVE:
I already had a Business Platinum. So when I called, they asked if I wanted to just update my Business Platinum (upgrade it to Centurion) or open a new account with a Centurion. If I had opened a new account, I would have had to do disclosures and probably offer info.
I opted to upgrade (meaning that I relinquish my platinum, and now that plat becomes a Centurion). Because it was an 'upgrade,' no questions or verfications were asked - all the financial data was based on the plat account. I will say - I read a tip on here to make sure your declared income and assets are well-stated in the Amex portal. Six months ago, I went into my Amex profile and re-entered my income and asset value, as both had become higher. That may have helped?
I think it could have been a factor depending on the asset value you listed. Also, if you had some of those assets held in Goldmans, Morgan Stanley, or Charles Schwab that could have been another factor.
