is that true ? I thought SMB card don't use personnel credit info?
I already have Costco AE card for 10 years (for credit history purpose obviously can't cancel) and personnel SPG AE card (apply last mon haven't got SPG points yet), so obvious can't cancel both, what's my options?
It's true. I've said it many times in the Amex threads, that Amex Canada will only allow (most) people to carry TWO of their CREDIT card products (SPG, SimplyAmex/Costco, Airmiles, Blue Sky). You can apply for as many CHARGE cards as your credit worthiness can handle, but only 2 CREDIT cards, and for you, the SimplyAmex (former Costco) and SPG Personal are already 2. Applying for the SPG Biz would be a distinct 3rd CREDIT card.
Options...cancel one of your older cards, else abort the current new card application.
But if you do choose to cancel your Personal SPG, you may or may not get the referral points (assuming you self-referred). FWIW, in the past, I've had very good Amex customer service to help me stick-handle around this type of situation, but YMMV.
