The 40 K was actually for the 30 K SPG Biz offer. The additional 10 K was a system glitch and was a hit and miss. One of our household accounts got it, other didn't .

Shooting for 4 cards total - me (personal + biz) and spouse (personal + biz).
I applied for 30K personal, got it, referred to wife, she got 30K personal.
She applied for 30K biz, got it, referred to me - but the referral offer that came from her was not the 30K after 5k spend, but a lousy 25k offer that required 15k spend.
Is anyone getting a biz 30k after 5k spend referral offer? Is there anything my wife can do to make any of her referrals the current 30k offer?

For the $30,000 a year for gold status. Is a year considered a year after you get the card i.e when you pay the annual fee or the end of the calendar year i.e december 2012?

I had the same experience with the Biz referral - used a different browser with cookies cleared and it sent the 30k link correctly the 2nd time.
I just filled out a referral application for the SPG business account, filled in all my info, nervously clicked "Submit" and this is the response:
We are sorry.
Currently, our systems are not responding. Please try again later or call us at 1-800-519-OPEN (6736) to apply for a Card. We apologize for any inconvenience.
To learn more about other flexible solutions you can use to manage and grow your business, please return to American Express OPENSM.
I have seen many bloggers reference 2 points per dollar spent (non-SPG purchases).
However, the way I read the T&C's is that one only earns one point per $ spent.
Someone correct me if I am wrong...
Just got my card(s) in the mail... and someone else's! No joke, there were two sets of cards attached to two different welcome letters, and luckily mine (with my address) was the one on top. Will call Amex first thing in the AM to notify them, then destroy the other cards. Luckily for the other person, I'm not an identity thief.

ARGH!
Yeah, I went to a personal ap twice in the last hour, and when I went to the shortcut field, I got a system upgrade message and wouldn't allow me to continue. They must be having some serious issues.

You are correct - one point per dollar spent at any merchant except SPG hotels. Further, at non-US SPG hotels, that two points doesn't really counteract the currency conversion charge of 2.7%.
