Even if there was, you'd likely be screwing your "friend" out of a signup bonus. (AFIAK, people that sign up through refer a friend bonuses get no signup bonus.)

Not universally true, but it would depend on the specific terms of the referral offer.

Perhaps so, but it's been true with every AMEX application I've reviewed...

Always appreciated.  Couldn't run this site as I do without that support.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I was not aware that I would be 'taking away' from the friends by referring them...  :-\
I will most definitely apply through the site and thanks Dan for all you do  :) :)

No experience with SPG. Good to know.

I have refered SPG and friends have got the signup bonus.


I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
