So a friend of mine today sent me a picture of his newest gift from Amex, a $5k gift card for Hermes. Now im not one to question my friends, but ive never seen or heard of Centurion gifts going that high. Now his family does spend a lot (im talking their net worth is close to the big B mark....) with monthly spend upto the multi-million range, so i guess its possible amex scales it up for customers on that tier? Can anyone confirm this theory?
This is one I'd like to receive.

Tried to book this one but this offer is not opened to Canadians, probably not to Americans either. I guess it's too easy for us to take advantage of it.
Anyways, thanks ysb41 for posting this here.

Yes, I got it in Australia, but only 8 different Shangri La properties available.
Paris, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Maldives, Singapore, Tokyo.
What are the other 4 properties available in the UK?
I want a 5k Hermes gift card too! The annual fee in Australia is the highest in the world (>5k US$) and we never get any of these fancy gifts.

Can someone kindly remind of a UK offer I've mislaid. It's for a £1000 discount at a jewellers in London. I can't remember if it was a mailer or an add-on to an evening event in the booklet. I think it's valid until the end of December.

Does anyone know if US Centurion cardholders received any "gifts" this year?? Last few years have seen diminishing "perks" for Centurion cardholders...

It's been pretty quiet. I don't think we received anything besides a couple Las Vegas weekend promotions, for the Wynn and Aria. (We enjoyed them both, they were great...) No actual tangible gifts at all.
