2M miles is sufficient for me per calendar year, equating to an annual spending of RM 14M.

You would probably qualify for the centurion card if they introduce it.

I hope so, but i did split my spending on oversea with UOB, as AMEX got higher over transaction charges. I spent alot at overseas too. Sometimes, I am thinking just spent it on Amex pay a little higher fees probably one day can get centurion

Probably good to build your record on this one. Was told you could also contact Amex Singapore with an interest on the centurion.

I just called customer service. Malaysia AMEX does not offer a Centurion card. It's only available in Singapore, and their spending system is different and cannot be tracked.

Looks like you need to wait for it to be offered in Malaysia.
RM14mil spend per annum is surely a lot.

Thanks for the wonderful input. I have to say that the Charge Card status isn't my consideration all...

In all I guessed it's the Priority Pass unlimited access justified for the high AF...

To each their own. This card don’t make you do monkey job for entry into lounges. I guess the willingness to pay the AF is the first qualifying criteria Maybank puts onto their potential card members. And they reciprocate by giving you evergreen points.
Also no stress on limit hold being a superior charge card.

Do you mean it's a hassle to enter lounges with other cards?

Most high tiered Visa / Mastercard will have limitation on number of times per year, some only for principal card holder, some will ask you to spend an x amount before or after you use the lounge. Too much hassle to keep track. And they are affiliated to some but not to others. With the Amex Platinum Charge card and PP, you can enter into almost all lounges. Not to mention it gets you into the Centurion lounge, which is far lesser crowd compared to the franchised lounges.

CIMB highest tiered World Elite Mastercard requires RM250k income per annum. Access into lounged is 12x shared with supplementary.

Amex Plat RM1.40/KF for local spend, while KF Amex is RM2.50/KF

Miles validity for Amex Plat is 6 years, KF Amex is just 3 years

The only cons is that, for Amex Plat, you need to fight for redemption. LOL!

Try now, for February, they increased it 20X monthly allocation. I doubt there are that many points out there to swallow up 20X.
