I have points credited for "SPG AX DEFAULT"
Any idea what that means?

The T&Cs quoted above say otherwise.

Shouldve clarified. I meant more than one as in a biz and personal. Still not positive that's the case but I think so

Seems to have changed, it used to say "SPG AX MBR REFERRAL - CONSUMER" now shows me "SPG AX DEFAULT"

The rest of the year plus the following year (till February after the following year)

The rest of the year plus the following year (till February after the following year)

through the end of Feb. 2/29/16   (2016 is a "leap year")

Right. Also worth noting that acquiring Spg gold due to 30k spend is no diff than getting it through Amex plat or from staying 25 nights etc

Even if you cancel the plat?

Even if you cancel the plat?

Yep. Doesn't affect your status with spg. It even counts towards amount of years needed to get lifetime gold
