Well he mentioned $1=1MR so I figured he was not booking prepaid FHR stays... Plus the prepaids are hit and miss with regard to elite qualifying these days, and that seems very important to him.
I have an upcoming prepaid FHR at an Intercontinental and they've already confirmed it came through as an OTA booking and is non-qualifying. As a Spire that considered adding Ambassador before the stay, that's highly disappointing.

Thanks. I completed the minimum info they asked for and the message was more or less “we’ll hit you back with an invite” if we chose. Not really expecting one just found it interesting it popped up. I’ve never seen any type of Centurion adds/survey before.

I did pay for everything with AMEX BonVoy. I didn’t realize you could book through FHR and not pay with the Platinum. That’s good to know. Thanks.

i am yet to see any real value of the business centurion over the bus plat, unless there are attractive undisclosed benefits.

I am not sure if this will get me in trouble because i am not suppose to share my youtube account on here but i have the centurion card and i did a unboxing video and i will be making more videos to discuss how i received the card, how much i spent on the card and so on.
If you guys are interested in looking at the video or my future videos, you can search "get to the point travel " i have around 375 subscribers.

Here’s the video:
Sad to see you were disappointed with the experience. I agree it’s pretty tame.

Thanks. I actually watched your video before. Not sure if it’s against the rules either but I’m sure the mods will remove this if so.

i mean it was $15k box lol I have gotten better packaging from 15 dollars chocolate box. But i am very satisfied with the benefits and i am actually surprised how many centurion members are not sharing each and every benefit here.
I have already gotten more than 3000 dollars worth of upgrades, with my hotel stays, delta platinum upgrades. and equinox membership is worth $4100 and it made me think i should go to the gym more and i have lost 7 lbs already.
I think having the card have all these other benefits like you get better treatment from other people. I made a video on that as well.

Does anyone know of any 2021 Centurion Business cards that have been approved this year ? I've been pushing my rep about getting one but he claims they arent issuing them due to covid. I think its complete BS. Spending anywhere from 750K-2.5M a month on Plum and BP.

My spend never drops below 750K a month and certain months I spend quite a bit more. I'd wager roughly 10-15M yearly. Been with amex since 2015. Only have been spending those amounts since January 2020 but its been very consistent since then. I've been through UW twice now and have gotten a large increase 2 months ago in spending ability.
My spend is largely mundane on the Business cards but I do quite a bit of luxury travel on the personal side of amex cards.
Trying to gauge how much BS my rep is feeding me as I've heard chatter of other people getting approved on the business side this year.
