Just about to apply Biz SPG (already cancel my Biz Plat) and hence start reading the T&C more carefully. This will be my first Biz SPG (I had Personal SPG before)
So, I read the following (highlighted mine)
Was it always waived for the 1st year for Supp Card? And the way you read it, it seems you can get a few Supp Cards and all get 1st year waived, could this be?
Any of you out there have Biz SPG with Supp Card can provide your experience?
Thanks.

Just check the Personal SPG and it actually has the exact same words. I had never apply for a Supp Card for AMEX SPG because I thought you need to pay.
alc, like you I'd never noticed the SPG supplementary cards were waived before, at least not ~2 yrs ago when I recall someone asking me about it. Only the Amex Personal Gold and Amex Airmiles Plat cards had 1st-Free + FYF supplementary cards at that time; and I know YOU KNOW why we were discussing this
. So, about a year ago, maybe less(?), the SPG supplementary cards became 'free' too.
Remember at one time they had a promo for 1 or 2 free supplementary cards for the Aeroplan Plus Gold card, for 1000 bonus points, and for the AeroPlat it was I think 5000 points but the authorized users had to pay a fee. It was around this time that we were looking over the 'offers' for free supplementary cards, for all of the churn-worthy Amex cards at that time.
