Well, this showed up today after I logged in to AMEX online:

I have seen that too, but when I click on it it says my accounts are not suitable to be upgraded?
How can a SPG regular card, not be "suitable " to be upgraded?

I can click through on mine but considering that the $300 credit doesn't seem to apply until after my account anniversary, I'm not sure it's worthwhile to upgrade. On the other hand, the upgrade offer of 100K points is the same as if I were to apply for a brand new card.

Was the account opened in the past 12 months?
Does it say that explicitly, or it that your interpretation of the phrase "card renewal year"?

Discussion here:
Amex USA 4 or 5 "Credit" Card Limit.
My read is that the 5 card limit is hard, although a few people may exceed it due to (example) conversion of Citi Hilton cards.

I cannot find it one way or the other in T&C.

Car Rental Loss and Damage Insurance provides Authorized Driver(s) with insurance coverage for Damage to or Theft of most Rental Vehicles when the Card Member uses the Card to pay for the Entire Rental from any Rental Company. Damage to or Theft of a Rental Vehicle coverage is always secondary to any other insurance.

So what rewards number are people using on their SPG Lux card app? Marriott, new or old SPG? I used Marriott and it is not showing up in my online account. My SPG Business card still shows the old account number and I have not combined my Marriott and SPG accounts yet. Will this work itself out or should I call Amex? Thanks!
