Long time lurker in K didn't know we have this subforum, I'm Singapore Centurion card holder, I'll try to answer questions regarding Amex charge cards.

I don't use credit cards so don't ask me about that lol.

I read to be invited, one has to be a high spender in the right category. Is this true?
What’s the initiation and annual fees for the centurion?
Is the card metal or plastic?

The normal path would be
- you hold Platinum Charge
- personal income tax reported at > $500k minimum
- $350k spend in a year minimum
- good payment history, you can't bring forward charge card amount due

Your job title, your social status, your savings and investments in banks, loan from banks helps too to a certain degree

If you hold Platinum Charge, you can call Amex to express interest

*The numbers increased a lot after COVID

Those prerequisites are quite palatable. Just that Malaysia don’t issue the Centurion. 😅

Ye but the thing is Centurion is not worth it if you spend just $350k cause you don't get much of the benefits.

You get the most benefits if you often travel lavishly, enjoys fine dining, fine wine, charter private plane/helicopter, buys VIP tickets to events such as F1 etc

There's not much difference between Platinum and Centurion for normal spenders like us.
