Amex MR not transferring to SPG
 

Hello SPG folks/users

Posting this thread on this forum to see if anyone has ever had this issue too. Turns out I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to transfer my AMEX MR to SPG for the last 6 days. I have spent hours with both AMEX and SPG on the phone to no avail. Both accounts are linked, yet as soon as I try to transfer points, all transactions get rejected/cancelled immediately.
AMEX keeps saying my names do not match, but:
1. If they didn't match my accounts would not be linked (originally names didn't match so I had to call both to change names and ensure they matched. AS soon as I had the same name on both systems I was able to link the accounts)
2. I have talked to both companies (in multiple times) and I even got to conference call with an agent from each company to ensure my name matched on their ends.

I am running out of options and I need to transfer my points. Any ideas, recommendations?

@Starwood Lurker, would you be able to help me?

My apologies for the inconvenience, but I don't know if I can or not. You can send me your account details and I can forward it on to the appropriate team on the SPG side of things. But, it sounds like you may already be dealing with them, so YMMV.

Thank you. I am quite new to the forum. How can I privately share my account detail with you?
Thanks

If you don't want to send me a Private Message here at Flyertalk, I publish an email address (below) with every post I make. Those ways are how everyone else reaches out to me if they need to.
