For anyone getting reduced offers, it might be good to check your email to see if your 100K upgrade offer is there.
I was able to apply for new SPG Luxury for 100K offer and then just today upgraded existing SPG Personal to SPG Luxury and confirmed with Amex agent that I was eligible for the 100K upgrade offer. I did have it in my email as proof, so there is no bait and switch possible.
Great deal getting 200K+ Marriott points with a new card and an upgrade!

interesting, now my account also shows the 30k point offer after spending $15k in the next 2 months. It's quite a bit of spent, but 2 extra points per dollar is not bad. Hmmm ... have to consider this.

I called yesterday but didn't feel like waiting on line. Sent an e-mail to customer service, we will see what they say...

Also got this offer this morning. Just completed the $5K spend after upgrading (points posted.) 20K points after $10K spend, then 10K points after an additional $5K spend, by November 30th.

I think you can only receive the same bonus one time, not that two accounts of the same type can't exist at the same time.

So in this case Amex is differentiating between “Sign Up bonus” and “Upgrade Bonus” ? If so that is a sweet deal.

Have a big trip coming up in 2 weeks and would love to see my status change now that I have also just got the statement with 75K spend level now met.
Thanks
