I just received this email from American Express.
I don't know it is target or not, in the email it included the RSVP code.

After going thru the enrollment process I get:

We're sorry. This Card is not eligible.
We're sorry. Our records indicate that you are not eligible for this promotion. If you received an invitation for this promotion, please verify the 14-digit RSVP code located on the invitation. Or if you are registered to manage your account online and attempted to enroll, please verify your user ID and password and try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience.

My wife got it, I didn't:td:

This is great. Thanks.....Every time one of these promos comes out I take a copy and send a letter to the Exec VP of Customer Service for AmEx. Within a couple of weeks I get a call from his assistant who tells me that I was not targeted but because of my high spending they will credit me with 20,000 bonus SPG points as an accomodation. Keeps me happy with SPG AmEx.

Do you have that email address? I'd like to try that!

I am interested in that email too, if you are willing to share it. Thanks.

So yesterday I get this email with the subject: 'Earn More Starpoints'

Great I think, here comes the 20% promo! But the copy read:

Dear OLIVER xxxx,
Whether you're booking a hotel room or just paying bills, use your Card for everything, and your Starpoints will add up faster.1 You can enjoy your first free night2 before you know it — with no blackout dates, 365 days a year.3
Earn double Starpoints on stays at participating Starwood Hotels or Resorts and purchases made at select Starwood retail outlets, such as Bliss® Spa and The W Hotels Store.4
Plus, you can achieve Gold Preferred Guest® status.5 With it, you'll earn Starpoints even faster and receive more preferred room upgrades.

:confused: ...? The fine print had the usual AX SPG terms.

I'm guessing due to my high spending I never qualify either. I'm putting in close to $1M this year, and what do I get? (Close to 1M points, but nothing more.)

On the SPG forum, there was a post by someone who obviously called customer service and was informed that the promotion was for cardmembers who had been with the program for 6-7 months... :(

I am interested in that email too, if you are willing to share it. Thanks.


Snail Mail to AmEx Corp Office works.

Darn it...I was so excited, but I didn't qualify....I would like to see more Starwood promos like this.
