kinda makes 30k with 4.5k spend feel less special.

If I got a card this week, not the recent special offer - will this effect me and and with $5k spending, I will get an additional 15k points?

its probably not, but you can try sending a secure message to them asking them to lower it.

unless youre solicited to "refer" yourself for an extra 5k....  makes it 30k even, for only 5k spend in 6 months.  not bad for an spg card.

If I have the card since 09 is there any way they'll gige me this offer?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Any stronger source? Perhaps one from Amex themselves?
