Is the new card better than SPG 30k?
I'm still deciding whether to try applying for the SPG Business card again, I last had it 26 months ago....

My wager is Sapphire Pref w/2K spend comes back, since its been suggested that the past roll out was pulled due to marketing snafu's and was likely to return.
If you don't have SPG, you can get it Tuesday, then finish your remaining apps Wed / Thur. The inquiries are instant anyways, and the new credit line won't post for several days.

I have a feeling come Wednesday morning, FTG, TPG and every single BoardingArea blogger will be touting this new card/offer so they can get their affiliate bonuses.

Just not sayin' it very clearly! You made it sound like someone is in the process of robbing a bank branch at this moment and it's going to take two whole days!
(If you meant to say that something of interest is comong on Wednesday, I think you could have phrased it more clearly. I'm not sayin' you had to reveal more clues, just suggesting clearer phrasing for those who don't already know what you're talking about from other contexts...)

Very true - but seems like a hint of something big, not a minor adjustment.
I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on some apps (just refinancing now), so he has my hopes up for a return of the glory days of 2011. And yes, I know that is all conjecture and wishful thinking on my part

I think keeping things modest helps me keen sane. Life's too short to spend every waking minute seeking points.

1) already have CSP
or
2) don't have it but can handle an incremental $1k of spend over 3 months through various methods.
If it is CSP, maybe it's back to 50K. Though I bet it's something else. No other blogger has said anything.

(I do realize the $1k reduction in spend was being mentioned for a different card.)
