So, if I spend $15k I get that 5k bonus plus the annual 10k bonus (for spending $25k), plus the spend, which would total 30k miles for $15k spend. That's actually not too bad if I can do it with spend that doesn't otherwise get a bonus. I may give it a try.
Plus it'd give me the PQD waiver. I'm at about 21k PQM with my booked trips, but will be $500 PQD short. I could book a cheap 4k miles flight instead of having to spend ~$650 to get my $500 PQD. But even that might not be worth it for Silver.
Well, Amex topped this offer for me. Got an email for 15k bonus when I spend $15k on my SPG Business card by 12/31. Can't see a way I can get $15k on both cards, so looks like Amex is the winner this round.
