Can anything be more gauche and garish than a Centurion Amex card? My Visa does just about everything it does without a fee and don't scream "My, my, look what I have"

I have one, but I rarely actually use it. I keep it for the travel statuses. Have used it occasionally for warranty coverage, but generally I just use cash back cards. It's definitely paid for itself in long haul upgrades.
