I'm looking to make a reservation at a restaurant for Saturday night, party of 10. I'm hoping that someone with a Centurion card can try to help me get it. If anyone can help, please PM me! Thanks!

wow, you have to pat 2500 for that card, but you can get superbowl tickets at the last minute.I always wondered how people can end up gettign hottickets when they have been sold out for days....I remember i tried getting tickets for the Red Sox WS....no chance.....then my freind ends up getting tickets because his father made phone calls.

Yep, from what I read about it, the card pays for itself many times over. Also, you do not apply for it, you are selected for it.

I honestly could not tell you. They may be in a pool of reserved tickets, where AMEX eats the cost of them if nobody does request them, or they may acquire them from ticket brokers. I really do not know.

It could... or it could not. Depends on whether you use the services enough.

every major sporting event sets aside a large portion of their tickets for corporate clients. for example, the upcoming world cup reserved 25% of all tickets for businesses. my guess is that AMEX has a hand in the corporate ticket pipeline.

I was wondering how Dunkin Donuts scored 40 tickets in the last minute for a Red SOx playoff game....
