I called up AMEX SPG just now. Asked if they had any bonuses for paying my taxes; she of course said no. I told her Chase currently has a bonus going on and that I wanted to charge it on my AMEX instead. Also told her to take into consideration my 12 years with AMEX. She put me on hold and came back to tell me she was going to give me 1,500 pts. I made the mistake of not telling her I was gonna pay 22K in taxes BEFORE she put me on hold. Maybe I would have gotten more. Anyhow, better than nothing. Thanks to the poster that recommended this.
