U.K. AMEX Survey shows Value for Money #1

blackcard — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:50:12 +0000

One of the top trends in the high-end is experience which includes cars, boats, planes, homes, travel, dining, learning.

A recent study by American Express U.K. found that their Centurion card holders seek vacations with “value for money” first and secondly seek “self-fulfillment and learning”. Traveling for dinner? 85% of the surveyed responded in planning international travel specifically for a meal. There, however, is little requirement for this, as more than 3/4 of cardholders plan to hire a personal chef in the future.
