Credit Card Programs - SPG AMEX Questions

I'm relatively new to the game and have a few quick questions about the SPG AMEX card:

- How often do they offer the 30k points that is going on now through 9/4? I already have three cards I recently signe up for that I need to do min spends on so I'd rather wait till the next go around if it happens a couple of times per year (like I think I remember hearing someplace).

- I assume that like the AMEX Delta Skymiles card you can get both the personal and small business SPG card (for a total of 60k miles right now)?

- Has anyone gotten the bonus for a second time after a year? On the sign up page it says that you aren't eligible for the bonus if you've had a card within the last year. I take this to mean that you can get a card cancel and get the bonus 12 months after you cancel?

Thanks!

Historically it seems like once a year (past two years in a row) for a month at a time it goes from 25k to 30k. But we never know the future.

Yes, people are doing that. Read the SPG thread:

Don't believe so, may want to check the SPG thread. Or post in the AMEX forum.

Please continue discussion in the thread mentioned by Altoid -or- search for information in the Starwood Preferred Guest forum.
