Our Verdict
Some people are gettin this offer now on their SPG business card, though no luck for me. Be sure to hit the full $10k requirement, else you don’t get any bonus at all. Most people value SPG points highly, and getting 2x everywhere on $10k spend is excellent.
There’s a similar email offer which some people got last month to get 5,000 bonus points with $5k spend. If you got both… well, I don’t know what will happen…
Hat tip to DDFÂ
Can anyone provide personal experience feedback on AMEX and Gift Card buys/MS? I am taking advantage of the OM/OD discounted GC deal and wondering if I should meet my $10K spend need by buying some of those cards instead of using my INK card. First, I suppose, is the 20,000 in SPG pts worth more than 50,000 in Chase UR? Then, will AMEX take note of the spend type and claw back points or limit the account?
mine is not offered; as my card’s AF will come due next month, wonder that amex’s retention folks may extend this offer to my acct if i call to cancel? wonder if amex retention folks have flexibility or just go by what the system shows?
Amex is good. I have a Google alert set up for exactly these offers and Amex always sends out the e-mails at least a day before I get an alert.
Got targeted for this one, thanks Doc. I have my AF coming up for the SPG and SPG business so this just furthers my decision on which to keep….I seem to have a lot better luck with Amex offers on the biz card too.
Finally, targeted by email this afternoon!
We are pleased to confirm your enrollment in the American Express OPEN Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card Offer.
And also today by snail mail,
Get 10,000 Membership Rewards points for enrolling in the Extended Payment Option.
man so jealous! nice man…
how long have you had the CC?
Got the snail mail offer too – 10k just posted this morning. It was like Christmas morning when I opened that envelope haha
I applied 4x for the SPG Business card
Got 4x declined for having too many accounts with Amex
Each time i got declined i closed one card.
Im down to 1 personal and 1 business.
I’m getting 35K SPG bonus points by hook or by crook 😛
Thanks! I was targeted this time. Wasn’t last time.
Not targeted, of course. Will be an easy reason to close card once AF hits next month.
Got (and used) the 5k in $5k back in August or September, whatever these offers first started. Haven’t gotten one since.
Usually they come around when your AF is coming due during the promo period, so I’d expect another one in August/Sept again.
no luck on our two cards.
