I added on another cardholder to my account to get 2500 bonus points, about a week ago. I wonder how long it will be until the points post?

Unfortunately, Starwood will not allow you to reserve rooms using points unless you already have them in your account, even though you are expecting points.

book what you can with points (say you have enough for 3 nights out of 5 desired) and then book a $ reservation for the other 2 nights. When you get points, call and switch it over. With SPG this generally works.

I did so the first time I paid over the phone, then after that they wouldn't let me anymore unless I used their Geico credit card. Did you have it on automatic payment or something?

unless someone has a new link, it now appears that the 15,000 points with a card is dead. 10,000 is alive

Details and link for SPG Amex offer Note it's only currently available on the Personal SPG Amex. |
Can you spend your way to Platinum? I'm tracking to 35+night for the year... so i won't hit platinum that way, but i'm also tracking to spend upwards of $100K on the card.... anyone know if there is a platinum threshold?
i searched but didn't see a comment on this. Thanks |
No, $30K gets Gold but there is no level awarding Plat. Unlike the Marriott card, the award at the Gold level is purely Gold status and not X nights towards status.

Since this thread is over three years and my question is the current practice of AMEX: do you , or know others who have two Starwood Amex personal, or two business cards. In other words: if you have an existing personal card, can you apply and get a second personal card and get the sign up 10,000 promo points?

At least for me it was. |
directcj: You are correct :) I have amended my post.

I got a nice surprise today. I got my 10,000 points plus my points for usage posted to my SPG account. I haven't even paid the bill yet!! ^

You usually get them posted a few days after statement closes. Mine seems to be 2 days after statement closes although it'll differ when it closes over weekend which will push it out.
Nice to know you can count on when you'll recieve them each month. I only wish I be able to spend $15,000 within the sic months. I just don't make that many pruchases. If only I could pay my mortgage with it.....sigh. |

My wife just received these referral cards as well but the recipient still gets 10K for signing up for the Amex card and the referrer gets 5K. The only thing the recipient wouldn't get that is currently offerred is 15K for $15K in spend during the first year.
