Experiences

Ah some of my experiences with the card in the second month.

- Paid for PF Changs lunch and the female waitress wrote her number on the receipt - she wasn't overly attractive though. Ironically, we had brought coupons for lettuce wraps.
- Denied access to American Airlines lounge at LAX - you must have signed up for the priority pass (free) and bring your priority pass card.
- Must still pay taxes for your free companion tickets
- Can count on upgrades from economy to 1st class if the plane has it, you arrive early, dress nicely, travel alone and hit on the check in girl - didn't try it with a guy.
- Played with my card under the black light at Body Shop in Hollywood (bad night) and noticed that most Amex's including my accolades card show the centurion warrier and the word AMEX under the black light. The centurion card does not do this but the back of the card where the signature is does have little "AMEX" characters. Visa's have the dove/eagle or whatever it is.
- Same night at the strip club while I was doing this, a stripper saw it and would not leave me alone - had to put my wallet in my hidden pocket and left after my buddies all got lap dances and the quality of the girls dropped off - around 3 AM.
- Las Vegas: lots of doors open for you with this card - my only problem, I'm not 21. Heard stories about free tables in Tao, free cabana at Wet Republic.
- Don't ever buy fast food with the card. Bad attention.


Will keep you guys updated.
