Was surprised that they offered me just a small token retention offer to keep the card, and made it so easy for me to cancel it. Not going to be traveling much anytime soon, and the travel benefits have been severely limited in any case. I just cancelled my Platinum Card that I’ve had for 26 years. The Centurion Card was said to have saved a man’s life when it stopped a bullet. It’s the unpublished benefits of the card though that can make a difference. However it’s cheaper to access via United Airlines or the American Airlines partnership. Members receive lower per visit pricing than non-members, and can pre-order meals, have their car cleaned while they’re gone, and receive complimentary spa services. The Private Suite benefit sounds prestigious but doesn’t really add much, and is probably more American Express getting paid to market the terminal to cardholders. The Private Suite celebrity terminal at LAX terminal offers discrete security and tarmac transfers. I have to imagine that the sudden American Express-CLEAR partnership is a result of the Delta contract extension since Delta owns a piece of CLEAR. Of these I really only see value in the Saks credit, though I wonder whether it’ll replace surprise and delight gifts and gift cards from other merchants.ĬLEAR usually isn’t necessary when you have PreCheck but at some airports during peak times the ability to cut to the front of the PreCheck line can be useful.
