Targeted: bonus points for spend on SPG biz AMEX
We have taken our SPG AMEX, both biz and personal, from our wallets. Today, my husband received a bonus offer on his SPG biz card. From now thru Dec 6, 2018, he gets 20K bonus points for every $10K spend up to a total of 40K bonus points. Given the reduction in benefit of using the SPG AMEX cards, this lifts us just slightly above where we were pre Aug. Last year, we received an offer of 10K SPG points for $10K spend. That was well worth participating. We'll have to look at our business expenses during the targeted window to see whether this is better than opportunities elsewhere. I'm not sure it is.

I got the same offer yesterday with perfect timing with several large Business expenses coming up.It is interesting that I received the offer on my SPG Business card and my husband didn't receive the offer on his. I have continued using mine for some non bonused spend while he has completely stopped using his. He has switched to the Amex Blue Business Plus (at least for the next 50K)
