Just got Centurion so still figuring it out, but booked a dinner for 6 through the concierge the other day, $700 tab, and when I went to pay they said it was on them since I booked through Centurion. Hope that happens more lol. Honestly wish BILT gave me a bigger limit too, they kinda nerfed the rent day transfers down 100k bonus points. Did catch the 125% bonus on 444k JAL miles 2 months ago.
Congrats from a fellow JPMRer. Could you remind us of your typical Gold/Plat spend that led up to your invite, and were there any benefits of your recently-issued US Centurion that you didn't already know about from the usual sources and comments online?
As I'm not in that spend bracket of >$300k/year but in a lower COL place, I had essentially given up on the Centurion invite idea in lieu of moving virtually all spend to JPMR, but I'm trying to sort out whether it's worth revisiting.
