15,000 points when you spend $6,000 in the first 6 months
I, too, of course, would love the 5K referral points, but I joined the Starwood AmEx campaign at BzzAgent and they offered a special deal offering the card with 10K points upon your first purchase and 15K points when you spend $6K in 6 months. The referrer gets no points for referring, but it's a good deal, so thought I'd share it. If interested, PM me.
