I think people were having similar problems with the extra points on the SPG AMEX with Aladdin spending (of course, after it joined spg). It is fixed now though.

Use AMEX SPG50 without Amex Card?
Good morning,
My folks gave me an AMEX SPG50 certificate that they got via American Express - they are cardholders. I don't have a SPG AMEX. Can I use the certificate anyways at a Starwood property or do I need to conduct the transaction using that AMEX card? Thanks! |
Bueller?

No, you don't need to use your AMEX.

Getting a Starwood AMEX without being a SPG member
I recently signed up to get a personal Starwood AMEX and was not previously a SPG member. The application said if I was not a current member I would automatically be enrolled. My question is how do I know what my SPG account number is now? I got the Card over a week ago, but it didn't include an SPG account number anywhere. My thoughts are the account number is in some obvious place I'm overlooking, or I'll eventually receive this info in the mail and its just taking some extra time.

Is that a definate Yes?
However, I have yet to even have a hotel ask for the certificate, let alone care about which credit card I'm using, which is consistent with what most people have reported, so it would be a rare occurrence for it to be a problem at a hotel. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. But, it says what it says, so it's remotely possibly (very remotely, in my experience) that it could be an issue. |

SPG Amex - now earn upto 25,000 points !!
I searched and did not see this posted already: I think this is a great deal and would jump on it if I didn't want my credit effected by closing down my account(s) and/or applying for another:
SPG Amex Application Earn 10,000 Starpoints® with your first purchase Plus– earn an additional 15,000 Starpoints when you spend $15,000 in 6 months |
It's a great offer. It's a shame they don't have a business card version of it. (I've at least not been able to find it.)
The 25K point offer is also discussed in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=708454 |

Wedding and Starwood Amex points
A friend is talking about holding her wedding in a Westin hotel.
As explained in another thread, Starwood gives 1/3 of a point per $ for spending on meetings or weddings up to a maximum of 20,000, which ain't great. But she's asking me about what happens if expenses are charged to a Starwood Amex card. Do wedding expenses get credit at another 1 point per $. Or because they are at Starwood, do they get credited at the higher rate for hotel spending, which i believe is 2 points per $. her fiance is debating getting a starwoods amex card versus using his member rewards amex |
