Quick question: additional users
 
How many additional users can you have per SPG card account, both personal and business?

For instance, I have 5 addt'l users (plus myself) on my HHonors card, wondering if it's the same for SPG accounts.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you call AMEX? They should be more than qualified to tell you the specifics of your account(s).

Radar. Under. It's a nice place to be.

And when I request additional users, I do so via the online link that gives 1k points per user.

But hey- thanks for your input! :rolleyes:

Yes there is.

There is a 5K referral bonus for a BIZ card. By the way you can only refer someone for a BIZ card if you have a BIZ card.

AMEX says only once in a lifetime.

I imagine it depends how long they keep data and how facile there database system is in searching for earlier records.

Has anyone been able to do a referral recently? I am trying to refer someone for the Business card and haven't been successful.

I clicked on the link at the bottom right of spg.com (ie Refer a Friend, Earn Rewards). That took me to an AmEx page where I selected 'Tell a Colleague'. I then logged in with my Amex account and then got a form which asked for my name and email as well as the names and emails for those I want to refer. I filled that in and hit 'Send' after which I received a message saying 'We're sorry. The system is not responding. Please try again later.'

I've tried for several days now and am still getting the same message. I recently called in about this issue but had no luck.
- Called Starwood (I was redeeming an award over the phone so I told them about this). They said AmEx would be able to help and transferred me there
- AmEx first said the promotion was gone and that I was probably using a link from a website that shouldn't be out there. I walked them through where I got the link (spg.com) and got to the error message. He then transferred me to Technical Support
- Technical Support said they were aware of the issue and had a ticket open but had no idea on when it would be resolved. They said I could do the referral over the phone and tried to transfer me there - but it was after hours so they gave me the number: 1-800-433-3550
- I called the number and was told they don't do referrals over the phone and that I received the wrong info from technical support.

Anyways, has anyone submitted a referral recently? I might try again to get somewhere over the phone but right now I'm losing hope lol..

Referral bonus
 
If I refer someone and get the 5K bonus, what signup bonus are they getting? Is there a spend requirement?

The ones that I have sent out have been:
10k - First Purchase
15k - Reaching 15k (USD) spend within 6 months

(=25k total bonus)

*Just tell the person signing up for it to check the email. I think it clearly states it somewhere if you scroll down in the email.
