No luck with any of the four.

Will my card ever be eligible?! GRR

Drat!
 

Didn't qualify for any of them! I think I spend too much on the card already.:mad:

Ouch! 0 for 4!

Tried for 3 days to enroll but keep getting the message "We're sorry, the system is unavailable. Please try again" Is that their way of saying I'm not eligible or ???

no online application
 

the materials i received did not have anything for an online application. you can only apply for this over the phone, or via regular mail.

Good deal, but NOT as good as AMEX giving me 20,000 SPG points when I converted my Delta card to Starwood card. 10K first use + 10K for hassle during upgrade process. :)

Refund to SPG Amex card - lose points?
 

Question for you all: If I cancel an airline reservation and get a refund to my Amex card, will they deduct the SPG points from my account if they already posted?

Thanks,
Marshall

My experience is that they are deducted from the current month's charges (unposted points), not from posted points. If the current month's charges don't cover the refund amount, I'm not sure what they do.

The credit card company usually just stops crediting points to the member's account until new spending covers the points already granted for a refunded purchase.

What if I send a payment in before my account is due. Will that payment
credit deduct the points I would have earned?
I want to pay several cards early as I will be on vacation when the cycle
closes and when the payment is due, however I don't want to lose out on
my points.

You won't lose your points. You'll receive credit for all charges made, even if payments made result in a zero balance by the time you receive your statement.

Thanks for the information!

Somewhat off-topic, but I had a Starwood credit post to my SPG Amex and I was separately deducted *wood points for Starwood dollars charged.

Starwood AMEX clueless about Westin Aruba
 

After a March stay at Westin Aruba was billed on Starwood Amex as being from Aruba Resort & Spa (property's interim name between its Wyndham to Westin reflagging, which became official 12/20/06), I was never awarded the extra point per dollar of spending at a Starwood property. Notified Amex, which after conducting an "investigation" still maintains that this is not a Starwood property, thus no extra points will be awarded. Guess I'll have to send them an actual copy of my hotel bill which clearly states Westin Aruba!!! Has anyone else had this problem with getting the bonus points from Amex for Westin Aruba or other new Starwood properties?
