The $65 annual fee is waived the first year on both cards. This is great news for those who have been eyeing the SPG cards and waiting for a higher offer.

The 30,000 point sign-up bonus can be used for three nights in a category 4 property wordwide like W San Diego, Le Méridien Grand Hotel Nuremberg, Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort, The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort & Spa, and others.

The site is not showing the 30k offer and is instead offering this message: “You have been identified as a current American Express Cardmember. The welcome offer above may not be the same as the offer you saw advertised previously because the other offer you saw is not available to current American Express Cardmembers. You will not be eligible for the above offer if you have had this product within the last 12 months.” For reference, I have never held this AMEX, but do have 2 others. Will I get the 20k spend bonus, even though all it shows me is the 10k first purchase bonus on the page?

Drew, you are eligible for the offer. Make sure you are logged out of your Amex account, try the link again, and you should see the 30k offer. Please let me know if this does not work for you.

As an FYI (wasnt sure where to put this) you can get two free Fandango tickets(up to 12 dollars in value) by playing AA’s Plane’s game through facebook or here:http://bit.ly/AADisneyPlanes

If I very recently got the Starwood Amex card, do you think I could ask them to match the promo I signed up for up to this one?

Frank the Buffalo

depends on how far back. if its within the past month or so im pretty sure they will honor this deal

Jrnymn

It may have been about two months… I’ll see…

So, they couldn’t make the 5,000 pt adjustment, but they said based on my spending, they could give me a 2,500 point bonus – so not too terrible. 🙂

In the blog post you say that ‘Those who apply for this card by September 3, 2013’ will receive the 30K bonus. However, this isn’t completely correct. The terms of the offer state:

Offer expires 9/3/2013. If your application is approved after this date, you will not be eligible for the 20,000 Starpoint offer.

So even if you apply by September 3, if you aren’t approved by that date, you will only receive the 10K after first purchase. Just an FYI for everyone!!

Question regarding redemption.. you mentioned that 30k is good for 4 nights at a Category 4 hotel, but it shows on the StarwoodHotels.com site that it’s 10k per night at a Category 4 property. Am I missing something? Can you please clarify?
Thanks!

Thanks for catching that Emily. It’s 3 nights. Post has been updated.

If you cancel the card, do you get to keep the miles in your SPG account still?

http://www.frugaltravelguy.com/ Ariana

Yes, since the miles are credited to your SPG account each month, you get to keep them.
