Amex SPG 30K Signup Offer [Expired]
Hope this wasn't posted already but just got an email inviting me to apply early for the SPG card with a 30,000 point bonus. I've been thinking about it for a while but biding my time till this came back. The email I got is targeted but what I found interesting was:
The whole email is below for those interested.
You're invited to apply four days early to take advantage of this limited-time offer

You can also get 30k via referrals from an existing card member. Same deal for you but the referrer get 5k, if you want to be nice and help out a fellow FTer. You can PM someone for a referral, a few folks (including me) posted offers for referrals here:

Ah ok, did not know that. Is that all the time or just a special now? Well this makes things a bit easier for everyone who wants it to get in vs looking for a referral. Though I can see why you are all so eager to do so.
Regardless I'm headed out of the country for the foreseeable future and a SPG card not exactly international friendly. lol

wonder if SPG is purposely early this yr to coincide with the Ink offers ending from Chase in a cpl days.
usually this offer comes around at the end of summer, which is when I had planned to churn. I guess let the frenzy begin now.

My wife has an SPG and received the referral bonus email as well. Does anyone have an idea whether AMEX would have a problem with my wife referring me and not honor a bonus on a referral between spouses?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Got different term from the referred application page and invited email application page.
Referred application page says:
If we identify you as currently having an American Express® Card account, you may not be eligible for this welcome bonus offer. This offer is also not available to applicants who have or have had this product.
Invitation email application page only has the latter sentence:
Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.
For me, I have not applied SPG before but I have 4 other amex cards. Is it safe for me to use the referred application page? Thanks.
