I can confirm that this promo is true since I'm able to provide this referral.

So, if you are interested in this. Find a family/friend that has a Starwood card and see if they are able to give a referral for this promo. You are doing your family/friend good as they get 5K SPG Points if you apply with their referral.

First time American Express Starwood Preferred Guest cardmembers can earn up to 30,000 bonus points. This deal is better than any AMEX SPG offer currently out there and the best since the 30k points for $1k purchase offered a year ago. This deal is valid for both the personal and business card versions. Currently the personal card and business card can be applied for only by direct referrals from a current AMEX SPG cardmembers whom received a targeted email from AMEX.

Key Points and Date for Both Offers:

- Annual Fee waived for the first year ($65)
- 10k Bonus Starpoints after first purchase
- 20k Bonus Starpoints after $4,500 spend in first 3 months
- 2.9% APR on Purchases for first 6-months

Key Dates for Personal Card Offer:

- Referral must be submitted by August 10, 2011
- Application must be received by AMEX by August 22, 2011

Unless you have received a targeted offer for this same deal for the personal card, the only other way to get it is by special referral. If you are interested in the personal card, PM your first name, last name and email address and I will send you the referral through the American Express web site. Or if you have a friend that can refer you on this special offer then ask them to send you a referral. There are several different offers out there, so make sure you apply for the right one!

Key Card Features:

- Starpoints can be exchanged for airline miles in a very large variety of programs. Most have an exchange ratio of 1:1, but if you exchange 20k Starpoints they will give you a 25% bonus so you end up with 25k airline miles for only 20k Starpoints.
