The 125k offer was through an email as far as I know. IIRC it was valid through early December. I don't know if there's a way to refer someone for the targeted offer, but presumably if you already have an SPG card, you could self-refer each other for 120k points instead?

contactless payment symbol indicating the
card can be used for Tap to Pay."

I got the Luxury version of the card and agree that it feels cheap. It definitely doesn't match the feeling of the Chase Marriott Premier Plus card which is made of the same weight aluminum as the Sapphire Reserve.
What's the obsession with a metal card? Once you have one, it's not like there's anything special about having a second one. The SPG Lux card material seems similar to the metal Citi Prestige anyway.
If anything, the plastic cards have the additional contactless feature, unlike the metal cards. It might be helpful to have at least one that has that feature at least.
