SPG Amex referral: "The World is Waiting"

Came in todays snail mail. Approved applicant gets 10K SPG points on first purchase, referrer gets 5K. First-time Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Cardmembers only. I put the full T&C in the Coupon Connection http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6741110 .

The URL listed on the post card is wrong, it should be http://americanexpress.com/spgfriend (no s) . I reported it to the Amex desk. If there is an Amex lurker reading this please get your webmaster to correct it. Tell them to put a redirect from the bad to the good URL.

Search not working ATM.

yanxfann has a nice idea. I wonder why SPG doesn't make the referral promo work this way. Give an extra bonus to both parties.

Coupon Connection

Well I must not have the needed posts to look at the Coupon Connection... or what do I need to do to qualify?

I believe the link will have reference numbers in the end so once you are re-directed to AMEX website, they know the reference numbers.

In the applications link it asks for "Unique ID". That is how they know to give the referrer the 5K points.

And the link mentioned in post #1 will now work either with or without the "s".
