I do wonder how profitable the UK market is to Amex and if this affects the quality of Centurion benefits.
Can’t say as I don’t have an EU card, but from what friends say, the EU Cent is barely better than a Plat.
UK Cents probably count as mid-tier spenders, whereas a number of Asian cardholders got ours through the Amex Bank.
As a point of reference, membership to the HK club that we have access to requires an annual spend of £100,000 in the shopping mall in which it’s located.
