The Best amex card out there is definately SPG Platinum.
DatingGold, anyone that spends $250k/year on their AMEX can get a centuriun (also known as the "BLACK" card) , you will need to have either a few mil laying around or 24 months of positive amex banking history. But the yearly fee ($2k/year here in Australia) is not justifyable for the benefits you get back from it. Every country has different pricing and benefits, however to obtain one it's by far easiest in USA.
Amex is all about status, they don't offer anything that any visa/mc can't or don't offer. The only thing that comes to mind is Amex Plat gets free priority pass (airline lounge) that I'm not aware any other card offers. Visa White offers cardholders (singapore only) free resort stays, private boating parties, free limos etc etc...
In Australia the new Amex Platinum card (credit, not charge) offers a free flight anywhere in australia every year, so there are some bonuses, but nothing that woo's anyone with an ounce of logic.
There is of course, various levels with in each card type at Amex. John Doe will never get the same benefits as bill gates, and that is something you will never be told about by american express.
woah..my fingers are tierd!
