You are contradicting yourself. The original offering is not "all you can eat as often as you want", but "24 dollars (or whatever the spending credit is as often as you happen to be flying at a location with a participating restaurant." So the original offering was already capped by dollar amount. A smaller dollar amount would essentially been the same business logic, just less costly to provide and maybe a bit less attractive (given that you would more likely have to pay additional dollars yourself).

But, let's just agree to disagree.

Anyone has insight into how much spend is needed to get the centurion card in Finland?

Rationale here would be that now the mastercards etc enhancements lead me to think if I dump them and concentrate all spend , personal and company related, on amex instead to gain their lumotic fancy card.

100.000€ per year enough?

And was it even launched in Finland - there was some rumors going around earlier this year when the metallic Platinum card arrived but nothing since then. Of course, they likely will not make it a big announcement because it will be invitation only and those who will be invited will know about it.

There’s at least multiple Finns who have it, not sure if they’ve got it through some other country though.

By invitation only and apparently minimum 250.000+ or similar annual spend required.
And spend is just one of the factors, annual income requirement may be very high and anything above 500.000+ would not surprise me but those are set individually by country and person's net value has a contributing factor too.

I think someone in that human category would not be spending his/hers spare time here in FT
There are Centurion members in other forums however, mostly US centric forums.

As long as you do not play lottery alone, "porukkapeli" between AY forum members sounds much better
