Anyone ever get a Amex centurion invite just by paying for expenses (your hotels/meals/etc.) on personal Amex cards? How much did you have to spend?

@sc1 how does that work? Why is the $ amount to qualify vs get invited different? How are they different?

Are you trying to get targeted with that 100k sign up bonus? I haven’t heard anyone get it in awhile. I gave up after awhile and just signed up for the plat with a 50k welcome bonus.

Seems unlikely. Also, isn’t the annual fee on the order of $5000? Pretty steep

The two folks I know who got invites in the last few years each spent more than a million in their invite year and sustained over $750K+ on personal Platinum cards in years prior. Both are smallish business owners who put as many business expenses on the cards as possible in addition to most of their personal expenses.

Ironically, only one accepted the invite. The other didn’t travel much and didn’t think they would get ROI on the much higher Centurion annual fee but was happy enough to collect the points and benefits at Platinum.

I know a guy who spent 700k on his Plat. Did not get an invite.

It also needs to be consistent I believe, like a few years

I've heard business card spend has different criteria. They are really looking for personal card spend. So if you have amex plat biz, very unlikely you'd get invited even if spend lots of $$$$
