Additional Card Member
Is there a better offer than receiving 1,000 Startpoints for adding an additional card member?

I hoping someone has some useful advice. I have a regular SPG card, but applied for the SPG business card on July 1. The application has been held up since then - reached an Indian call center a couple of times but just got read an unhelpful script.
Today I called the number a few posts above and got an agent who, after 20 minutes on hold, told me that they need to verify the business information, there needs to be a "real" business - they're apparently sending a letter asking for financial statements. (I had used the advice above to use my own name as the business name and minimum values.) My income, sterling personal credit and 25+ years of Amex membership apparently aren't enough.
How are others managing to get approved?

No matter - once I hit $1k spend and get the 30K points posted, this card is history.

Interesting that you had to show proof of a business. I used the title of my Living Trust, which I actually do use to acquire items.
