Centurion 20th anniversary
I got an annual email from Centurion reminding me of how often I used the card and how many years I've had it, etc. I (and all the other charter members) am in my 19th year of Centurion membership. So I thought I'd start one of those rumor threads about what Amex will do for us on the 20th anniversary of the card. Any good ideas? I think they should have a good party for everyone at some nice location. I'm sure there are less than 200 of us out there. Maybe less than 100.

My first charge on my Cent was 12/3/1999 so 18 years is close.

My account is definitely that old or close, I think it was 1999 for me as well. My card doesn't say "charter member" on it however, but I've had it without break since almost the US inception.
I still have that letter from Amex saying that they were raising the annual fee to $2500 but for us "charter members" the annual fee would remain $1000. That didn't last long.
20 year anniversary? How about bring back Starwood Platinum!

UK Centurion launched March 99; and US Centurion was October 99.
There was an event in London for the 5th anniversary of UK Centurion that was done in conjunction with McQueen. I seem to recall something was done for 10th Anniversary too, which was around the time of the refresh.
