I just received an offer in the mail this week to add an additional card member to my Platinum card. Of course it costs $175 so I didn't think it was worth the MR points--I think it was for 10,000 points, but I don't have it around. I've received similar offers before.

It would be helpful to know which card you have.

Haven't seen one in the last few months but occasionally get them for 2K or 2.5K to add up to 3 more cards. Already have 2. Cards 3-5 appear to be at no additional cost.

Has anyone ever seen a bonus for adding another card to the SPG AmEx (personal)? I just received mine in the mail after approval last week. I'm holding out on getting my wife's card until I hear from the group here.

On a side note, I was approved for a rediculously low limit ($2,000!!) while my other AmEx cards are both over $20k each. Anyone had luck moving credit between cards lately? At this low limit, it is impossible to reach the $15k spending in 6 months bonus points!

Hi Beth,

I didn't see your reply until after I had used the "add cardholder & get 1,000 SPG points" link from TAHKUCT above <https://www201.americanexpress.com/c...y=addstarwoods>

However, I have yet to see these 1,000 points post to my account. The introductory 10,000 have posted now, after my first month's statement closed, though. Is there usually a delay with these points posting, or is something wrong?

I'm still working on the $15k for 15K part of the promo, too, so hopefully that will all go smoothly...
