Implies getting a US SSN & bank account though, which I'm pretty sure I need a US address for... I mean, I CAN ask a friend for his address, but the rest, not so sure how that'd work. Didn't even know that was a thing, seems pretty sweet for starting to build credit when moving though.

... Does it... does it work? if so, how? PM me if you don't wanna share, please

I'd argue a free cat 6 night at SPG is worth more than 200.-... but ouch, yeah, didn't know about the UK one.

I mean the US has better benefits in general (AA signup bonuses anyone), but the SPG we have a direct comparison so it just makes me feel worse :lol
