Centurion card (USA) refresh. Some benefits removed/added. $5k annual fee.

100% agree…
I don’t mind them investing in making the standard/classic physical card better. The two art variations aren’t appealing to me though.
As a business centurion card holder, I am disappointed each time they do some lifestyle thing with the benefits rather than something truly useful for a businessperson.

Agreed about the weistband
It is also super clunky and fairly conspicuous (I’d hate for someone to ask me what kind of credit card I have)
If I’m missing something please let me know.

The last thing I want is another device with my credit card information on it - just another thing to lose. I don’t care if it’s from Prada. I also think it’s really clunky looking. Also, do I need to conspicuously show everyone I have such a card?
If I’m missing something I would love your opinion.

Actually no. I registered when it went live last May. All my 6 requests where honoured for concerts/events in several countries in Europe including Yo Yo Ma and Alicia Keys. I got an email a few weeks ago basically saying that registration is still open and there is still availability for several things on the list (as of a few weeks ago).

The events I registered for have not taken place yet. I think the first one on my list is coming October through to June 2022 for the final ones.

Are some of these the same dates as those in the current publication with dates from Oct 21 to Oct 22? Just wondering because it says these are only available to reserve starting September 1st.

Not sure which publication you are referring to but registration here in continental Europe opened early May when they rolled out the 'new' Centurion with the new designs, wearable and Centurion Living. The events indeed run from October 21 into 22 and are open to Centurion members worldwide.

They were featured in the new black books discussed upthread, but you can see them here: https://www.americanexpress.com/en-u...nturion/living

New Centurion Art Card
Just received an invitation from Centurion to chose between the 2 art cards! Which one is your favorite or would you stick to classic black?

I'm sticking with the classic black. I like the idea of art cards, but both of these designs fail to inspire any emotion in me beyond "meh".

Also debating the art card choice - I like the 'ol original classic card which isn't an option. If I had to pick one, I'd pick the flora one but even then I'm not crazy about it. Came here to see if anyone had any insight that might sway me.
I was at the SFO lounge, and they brought over a book about the "new centurion" that had sample cards with the new art design. Neither really blew me away, I think it's just a feeling of obligation that any morsels they offer us, we should take to chip away at that $10k a year in AF for two cards that I'm paying.
