But right now, my only Amex is Blue, so I defer to others.

there's also a joining fee for new cent amex members in hk
so they're making existing members feel like they've already made a big saving even though annual fee has been increased from hk$9800 to hk$19800!
i suspect they are offering expensive welcome gifts to new members though

Not waived but halved... I have a personal centurion and a business centurion (was corporate). With the beef industry the way it is I was going to cancel the business centurion as part of cost cutting measures. It's only $1k a year but that's $1k/year we don't need to spend. AMEX said that they'd give me half credit on that year's annual fee if I wouldn't cancel. So, I paid half the yearly fee, the business paid half and all was well. Now we'll see about NEXT year.

Reported on FatWallet that Amex was offering new members the Cent. card w/ fee waived first year. Can't independently verify this.
