Nothing offered.

I'll call again in a few weeks -- I may ping pong between SPG personal/business (getting 25k points each time, and no fee the first year)

If I cancel the card, will I get my gold status for next year?
Just be aware that AMEX generally offers a signup bonus for a specific card only once in a lifetime.
