USA CENTURION card program changes: maximum two authorized users @ $2500 each
Heads up to those with the Centurion card and additional members on their accounts!!
Spoke to AMX Centurion customer service today (I'm a Centurion cardholder) and they indicated starting this summer (within the next month) that all US Centurion cards will be allowed only 2 companions members versus the allowable 99 on your card. If you have more than 2 additionals, they will be grandfathered in. So you have a month to add people before they shut it down. She said a date will be communicated very soon.
I asked the reason - she said "To make the card more exclusive".
Hope this helps.

If it really was a factor, AmEx needs to seriously reevaluate their membership criteria. I really can't imagine any motivation for a HNWI "selling" AU access to Centurion. Then again, they haven't been targeting HNWI - they've been targeting people clever enough to spend a lot in a short period of time.

Please someone educate me. I am a Centurion Card holder with one AU, my wife. If I have read this thread correctly other Centurion Card holders have "sold" AU rights? Is that correct? Why would anyone do that since if the AU holder doesn't pay the Centurion Card holder will be responsible for those charges?

Your suggestion makes total sense. Frankly, I would have thought that AU's for personal cards would have always been restricted to immediate family members

99 AU was clearly ridiculous, but 2 seems a bit weird (if you want to cut kids/parents/etc out, why not limit it to 1 AU?)
