I have a SPG Amex and no other Amex that earns Membership Rewards. I don't want to get screwed over on this deal. How can I make sure I will get the bonus before I apply?
*****************Update: I called the number that was on creditcards.com 877-915-6387. A lady processed the app, approved it and confirmed that I would get the 25k after $2000 spend. I made a point of asking her if the SPG card would disqualify me and she said it wouldn't.
The Amex website has a strange (intentional?) quirk whereby you sometimes get taken to a different landing page for a credit card if you have logged into the Amex site in the past and have their cookie in your browser (i.e. they can identify you as already being an Amex customer). This might be what happened in your case. In the future, if you see something like this happen again, clear your cookies, close and restart your browser, and then click through to the credit card landing page again and see what happens.
