When I signed up for the card, I asked if there was a difference between the personal and business Centurion cards (I have a business SPG Amex as a sole proprietor, provides OPEN program savings and other benefits, see the FatWallet Forums on business card benefits as it relates to your credit reporting).

Well, I’ve joined the exclusive club of Centurion cardholders. It’s heavy. It’s nifty. It gets attention (sometimes unwanted). The Amex Black card. Cool.
Am I happy with it? I have mixed feelings that I will post about in time…

From Amex-Black.com- US Airways Joins Centurion Airport Lounge ProgramJuly 30, 2010Two posts in one week, I need to slow down. I did just get this email, which I am very excited about, that US Airways has now been added to list of Airport Lounges in the Centurion program. This is great for me because I live 10 minutes from a US Airways hub and I [...]
- Big Thanks to Amex ConciergeJuly 29, 2010Contrary to many of the comments I am not dead, nor was I attacked or eaten by a bear. But I do have exciting news, I recently became engaged, much to the help of my Centurion concierge. My longtime girlfriend, myself, and her family had planned a trip to Mexico for her Father’s 60th birthday, and [...]
- That Time of The Year AgainJanuary 11, 2010It’s that time of the year again, where everyone makes their new years resolutions, many of which are usually finance related. The usually consist of making more money, getting out of debt, and saving more money. This post, while not about the black card in anyway is just a friendly reminder with hints to help [...]
- Black Ink Magazine Is TerribleDecember 16, 2009It has been awhile since I last posted, sorry. However, I just received the latest issue of blank ink magazine, the centurion member magazine in the US (similar to departures, but way worse), and I was reminded of how terrible it is. I don’t think I have received one issue that I thought had a [...]
- Centurion Card Gets Exclusive AgainOctober 21, 2009Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been on an extended vacation from this site. I am actually in Paris right now, I’ll write more about Centurion service for my trip later. I am a little late on reporting this, but apparently Amex has semi-closed its doors on the Centurion card for now. According to [...]
- Bernard Madoff’s Amex Platinum StatementJuly 23, 2009I came across this on Flyertalk forums and I figured I should definitely post it. Here are scanned copies of Bernard Madoff’s January 08 Business Platinum statements. I haven’t read the whole thing but it doesn’t seem too crazy, other than the fact his whole family was a supplemental cardholder on his account. Definitely worth [...]
- Guy Thinks He Got Centurion InvitationJuly 20, 2009Saw this posted on Flyertalk.com, pretty comical. Some radio disc jockey thought he got an invitation from Amex for a black card. He didn’t realize that it was really from Visa and that everything he said about the card doesn’t pertain at all to Visa.
