Might be as I know of several others that do not require notification every trip.

Cheers

Thanks for the heads up OP- I totally missed the notice on my statement.


I'm glad that my Prague MO visit is this month and not after January. Per the terms we must use our Cent cards.



We typically use our Starwood cards in Europe but may reconsider.


ETA- I will have to carefully consider this though. When we had a problem with a merchant in Italy Amex
assigned a special representative who went out of her way to resolve the issue. She saved us close to $1000.
The extra fee may be worth it to us.

Can anyone confirm anymore about this?

I do not think it is accurate at all. See my post above. Alas, I have not called to confirm it.

Interesting observation from yesterday's Platinum bill:

My billing cycle typically ends on the 8th or 9th. Normally the due date is listed on the bill / website as the 22nd or 23rd (I know that you can pay after that by phone w/o penalty).

On my November bill which closed yesterday, the due date is listed as Dec. 4.

It looks like they actually expanded the payment window ?????

I just called Customer Service and just like always ---you just have to pay your bill BEFORE your next billing cycle begins.

Is FOREX rate going up on centurion card also?

I would assume so. AmEx has had the same rate across the board for all cards as long as I can remember. :(

Yes, it is. Got my centurion statement today, and it had the 2,7% notice on it as well. I'm still torn.

- My lowest card carries a 1% fee
- AmEx Rewards are worth 1% minimum

So, it's basically a 0,7% charge by AmEx for dispute/fraud/etc prevention. It may be worth it....

Hi there, it's my first post. Just wanted to say I got the same notice for the FOREX increase on my Starwood and Gold Cards.
