I agree with farwest that the 75K gold should definitely be considered.
I don't need it, per se. However, my company was just purchased and now we have to use their online travel service. Starwood is a preferred hotel chain (unfortunately, so is La Quinta) and I can currently use my own CC to pay for my corporate expenses. I figure they'll force me to a corporate card fairly soon so I thought SPG might be a good card to try to get a little spend on the company dime while I can.

I'm concerned that if I get a FR (amex), I'll never be able to show any kind of profit. I'm also a bit concerned about what I'd say if I had to call reconsideration, for some reason (IB).
Thanks!
