OP is talking about Amex Cobalt card and not Centurion 🤣

Hey the cobalt is slept on. Wish I could PC to one.

My friend said it was super beneficial when he had to rent jets or helicopters last second for deliver parts for his supply chain company.

I looked into it and couldn't justify it

First world problems!

If you actually have one, are you an authorized user for one of your parents? Otherwise what are you doing on Fishbowl?

And no, the general consensus in the points community is that the Centurion isn’t nearly enough of an improvement over the AXP to justify the 4-5x annual fee plus 10x initiation fee.
