Does anyone know if you can downgrade a SPG card to an  non annual MR card?

You can't

If my last spg personal card was closed 12/12/2010 do I stand a chance of getting bonus?

reports are you need 7 years so youre just short, you can call amex and ask them if they see the card on file, thats the best way to know if its still on their records

[Hamavin]

I chatted and they told me this was last time I had card...That means on file? Any hope know that I just got approved?

that means its on file, if you just got it that reset your 7 year clock. you can ask if they seee the bonus on your card just to make sure

[Hamavin]

Can you try getting it added or waste of time?

Google it ...i found from reddit you have to sign into your spg account and on the  home page you will see link to create 35k referral

I already have the links because I sent a referal right when they came out. But I find it strange that I can't get the 35k offer anymore through my account

[shulem92]

any ideas why 2 referrals have different codes given when credited to my starwood balance?

Just write your full account number in the memo section of the check. I have heard risks reported but bH have never had issues doing this

There's no report that 7 years works and 6 doesn't.
It might be that way or it might not.

I would stay away from it if I were you but if you must then it is doable.
