[Expired] [Targeted] American Express Personal SPG Spending Bonuses (4,000-15,000 Points)

This deal has expired, click here for more American Express bonuses or more SPG bonuses.

Looks like a second round of people has been targeted, promotion is exactly the same as previously (same dates). Just reposting as you might be eligible now if you weren’t before.

The Offer

Direct link to offers: 15k bonus, 4k bonus (should also just see it when you log in)

  • American Express is offering some SPG personal cardholders spending bonuses. Seems like different people have different offers, some offers include:
    • Earn 7,500 points after each $10,000 you spend, up to a limit of 15,000 points
    • Earn 3,000 points after each $3,000 you spend, up to a limit of 6,000 points
    • Earn 2,000 points after each $1,500 you spend, up to a limit of 4,000 points

The Fine Print

  • Must register by April 5th, 2018
  • Spend must be completed by June 10th, 2018

Our Verdict

Seems like most of the offers are an extra 1x points per $1 spent, but you have to hit the spending requirements. That makes this a 2x everywhere card for the duration (again assuming you meet the spend requirements). Typically people seem to get these offers when their annual fee is due, so make sure you take that into account when deciding to complete this offer. It might make more sense to just cancel the card as planned (if indeed that was your planned). Even if you do get this offer, it’s always worth calling retention when the annual fee does come due as well.

  • Met the min spend for 7.5k points (10k). No points after meeting it nor on my statement. 100% MS. Haven’t seen any other DP’s of people getting points so not sure if it’s MS related.

  • Called Amex today after AF hit in March on SPG personal. Amex offer: 1) $75 statement credit after $2k spend in 3 months or 2) 7k points after $1.5k spend in 3 months.

  • Does anyone know if you can get both this offer and a retention offer on the same card?? I got the 5,000 points for $5k x2 offer and my annual fee is coming up.

    • Did you get an answer to this, or try it out yourself? I'm in a similar situation... I'm trying to decide if I should call retention even though I don't want to cancel due to the spending bonus...

  • I got this message :(

    We're sorry. This promotion is only open to invited Card Members.
    If you are a solicited Card Member and are responding to the offer you received by direct mail or e-mail, and are registered to manage your account online, enter your user ID and password.
    Thank you for your interest in this promotion and for your continued Card Membership.

  • Happens my annual fee should post soon, early next month. But no love from Amex:

    "We're sorry. This promotion is only open to invited Card Members."

    And what I think of AMEX: ticketing this card for closure.

    "I'm sorry. It's only business."

    (then again, just re-read your post on retention bonuses.... nicely put. Will try, one last time ... politely.)

  • Never gotten any bonus on either SPG (biz or personal). Never a retention, never one of these random bonuses, or any of those targeted stay bonuses SPG runs.

  • dude. WTF is the secret. so damn tired of not getting it and sounds like buncha new CCs keep getting the good shit.
