He&#8217;s gotten me theater tickets, great concert seats (front row for Celine Dion) and hard-to-get restaurant reservations. Ray even takes on particularly cumbersome tasks, like locating my headphones when I lost them 10,000 miles from home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Brian also praises the concierge for helping him leave Bali, Indonesia, during the eruption of Mount Agung, as well as providing excellent service for rebooking travel during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other ways to get it<\/strong>: While not quite as extensive as the Centurion concierge, premium Amex cardholders can access an American Express Concierge for assistance purchasing event tickets, making reservations, booking travel and fulfilling shopping requests.
