Amex SPG Card Advice Needed
I wasn't sure whether this should be posted under Amex or SPG, so I figured I'd post it here and at worst it would get moved. 
So... my wife and I signed up last year for 2 SPG cards each (personal and business) to rack up bonus points for flights/hotels this summer. They have since become our primary cards for non-bonused spend. I know that we can't get the signup bonus again on the personal cards, but was wondering whether anybody has ever had success getting the signup bonus on the SPG Business card more than once.
I was thinking that when the annual fees come due later this year, I will keep my personal card, add the wife as an authorized user, and close the other 3 cards. Does this seem like a good strategy?
