Hope this helps,

It seems that it is not possible to initiate an online member-to-member transfer if the recipient's account is less than 30 days old. I reviewed the entire Terms and Conditions of SPG program, but the "30 days old" requirement is nowhere to be found. Is SPG enforcing something that has not been announced to its members nor does it exist in its T&C?
