Urgh, I'm so mad. Got the card about a month ago and knew I should have waited for a better offer than the cruddy 6,000 bonus points with stays offer they had back then.

Thank you for the update, tomcat ^

Hmm...I just applied for one a few days ago, before the new offer, and my card will be coming in a few days. Do you think AMEX will give me the 4000 bonus Starpoints anyway?

Thanks,

Ralph

Can you cancel your corrent Amex and then reapply to get the bonus?

Call them! I had a similar thing happen to me when I applied last year and a friendly phone call got me the higher amount of points. No hassel at all! That's why I love AMEX unlike so many other people. Never had a problem with them and I have had various cards for years. :D

Up to 6,000 bonus points. 1,000 for the first stay at an SPG hotel and then 500 points per stay for the next 10 stays.

That's what it is now! I think the wording is confusing people. AMEX will give you 4k and then you can earn up to 6k by staying at *W properties...1k for the first stay and then 500 after that during the first year.

If you already have a AMEX starwood card, I don't think you get the bonus. If you have other AMEX card/cards, you don't need to cancel, just apply for the starwood.

so you need 11 stays to get the extra 6000 points
