I have a Platinum but I don’t think that’s the way to go.
If you are willing to apply for it, the Starwood AMEX - standard offer is to spend $15K in 6 months and get 15,000 bonus starpoints. That's on top of the 10,000 bonus points with the first purchase. So, $15K spend on a new SPG card yields 40,000 starpesos OR 50,000 airline miles.
