I just cancelled mine stating the demise of the SPG card within the next year as the reason. I was not corrected by the Amex CS staff.

If the card does go away, it won't be this calendar year.

If I have a Canadian SimplyCash Amex (previously Canadian Costco Amex), can I refer myself for a Canadian SPG Amex? What's the best I can get?
Have US SPG Amex but I would imagine referrals don't work that way.

I have both the SPG Personal and SPG Bus card and I called in to cancel my Bus Card one. They gave me 25,000 points as a bonus for staying on. I have about 110k spend on my personal one and about 65k on my bus one. I've had them for about 2 years.

Cancelling SPG cdn personal card -- prorated fee refund?
If one cancels the SPG personal card say three months after the fee was assessed, does one get approximately a quarter of the annual fee refunded on request. In my case fee recently assessed , trying to decide whether the card is worth keeping for me. I currently value the points at under two cents, perhaps a cent and a half, but I could reassess higher or lower.

Refer a friend -- from SPG personal can one still refer SPG
Business. If so, what is the navigation to get there, as I no longer see it.
Thank you
If not, does anyone know where my friend can get a referral for a SPG business card?

we still see the old referral page. I sent you a referral if you have problems with it from your own.

Hi All, longtime board reader / my first-time posting... A couple of questions, is there a consensus on which is the best tel# to call re AF renewal bonus?? And is it best to call before or after the AF posts to your card?
My first year ends May 6th and I'm hoping for a lot of points : ) I have $18+K spend plus I've made SPG Gold on my own the past few years without the card.
Just wondering my best strategy to proceed.
Thanks!
