I have already had the Amex gold, and platinum so I'm wonder what my options are to get a signup bonus for Marriott.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure how many months is "a few months" but, if long enough, if you paid all your living expenses with the SPG Amex would you not be able to earn 25,000 Starpoints which would convert to 75,000 Marriott points?
