But the benefits I get are exactly the same as any other Centurion member in the country.

They dont differentiate between a deposits based member or a regular invite member. The Sales rep even gave me the option that I can take back my deposit in 2 years time, and if I keep up good history with Amex, they will convert it into a prepaid card, with all the benefits included

No interest. It's just a guarantee amount

Private banks and law firms in Switzerland offer this.

Do you mean that you have spent $300,000 using a supplementary card on someone else's account, and you expect American Express to see this spend as yours rather than as the primary cardholder's?

i am the primary holder or amex personal platinum card and amex marrriott card and put major spending on both cards.

i have few AU on both cards, they also contribute maybe 50 percent of the spending,

so will the au get invited or me instead?

will the spending on amex marriott count?

Singapore issues its own rules for a Centurion card.

There are people who spend 300k on a monthly basis and don't get invites...

No don't give up. Cards are allocated thru a number of factors beyond spend. Where you live, how many card are in your area, what your spending items are...etc. You might have a better chance getting a Centurion card in North Dakota with lower spend than in Miami with higher spend.
