There is absolutely no way it should have taken 7 days to process any Point Redemption!!. My statement date closes on the 7th day of every month, meaning that I now had to pay additionally for airline tickets that were supposed to be covered under the Amex Rewards program.

The excuses of why the Redemption did not go through are very imaginative to say the least, Welcome to Amex!!! The airline tickets were charged immediately to my to my card, but low and behold no Reward Redemption 7 days later. I was assured that there would be no problems putting through the Reward Redemption. I was told repeatedly, that it would only take a few days at the most for the Redemption to come through. I was told by Card Services that the redemption would take a few days. Cardholder Services said something slightly different. I was advised by Centurion Travel that the Rewards Point Redemption would be immediate and the airfare credit would show up immediately on my statement. I decided to use those points towards airfare. I had a lot of Amex Reward Points sitting unused due to the fact That Amex dropped the Travellers Cheque(Rewards) program. Recently I booked a 25th Wedding Anniversary Cruise. However, lately, in the last several years I have been getting what I consider to be harassing calls from Amex asking when I am going to pay my account, usually about two weeks before it is due. It clearly states this on the card Statement.

I have always paid my accounts in full by the due date, in fact I was always made clear to me that my Amex Statement must be paid in full by the due date. One just has to read the newspapers to know that Amex has financial problems big time! It has become quite apparent, particularity in the last five years that the promises made to cardholders are no longer valid. In fact we Centurion Card holders were promised a lot of things by paying that huge Membership fee! This is what we were promised when we signed up. I went to the malls and I balled too hard/ ‘Oh my god is that a black card?’/ I turned around and replied, ‘Why, yes/ But I prefer the term African-American Express’įirst of all Centurion Amex card holders are not supposed to not have any limits on their cards !! It was cool when Kanye West dropped references to it in 2004. Now with the Black Card you’re really paying for prestige and exclusivity.

That won’t be close to worth it for most people - save the money, use some of it for paid domestic first class (your upgrade percentage is higher that way anyway), if you must.

Ultimately you’re paying $7500 upfront plus an incremental $2000 a year over the Platinum Card for Delta Platinum elite status. With the personal (but not business) Black Card you may receive luxury gifts - such as gift cards for luxury retailers who want to introduce themselves to you. The Centurion concierge can be a designated person, rather than luck of the draw with Platinum, but it’s the same company and not a true high end concierge service (and is often considered to lag mid-tier services like Bluefish). Although The Points Guy writes “Delta Platinum status has been nice for flexibility in changing awards and earning more miles on Delta flights” it’s actually a hobbled Platinum status that doesn’t get bonus miles for flights.īoth card products get an airline fee credit, Global Entry application fee reimbursement, and concierge services. (And Intercontinental hotels have their own separate status program: Ambassador) Platinum is not even top tier and even the top elite level offers super weak benefits. For all those times that Centurion members stay at Holiday Inn. Unique Centurion elite status benefits are: Centurion members generally get an extra throw-in benefit. Luxury hotel reservations with throw-ins like breakfast, upgrades, and late checkout. Platinum members receive Gold status, Centurion members Diamond, but there’s not much of a material difference in published benefits between the two status levels. Both Platinum and Centurion members receive Gold status.
