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

Bonus
+5,000
02/24/2017
SPG AX MGM OPEN OFFER

Bonus
+5,000
02/17/2017
SPG AX MBR REFERRAL OPEN

looks like one is business card and one personal card?
"open" is Amex's business card name

They both say open, and they are both for the business card

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 did that, and once signed it to SPG it showed 35k, but when I followed the link to the page at amex.com it then said 25k...

FTR both my cards now give me a proper 35k link, straight from amex. Just Google amex refer a friend, and follow the prompts

You sure it didn't say 25k + another 10k if you read further down?

If I had a personal Starwoods card that I cancelled over a year ago can I reapply with bonus? I cancelled Jan or Feb 2016.

And for business I can just write sole proprietorship? Will I need to call to hock on what exactly my business is?

Just write in sole prop and use you SSN as the tax ID#. You shouldn't have to answer for yourself

Warning - Newbie question:

What would be the best way to maximize the 35k bonus points for a hotel stay in the nyc area? In other words, I have the 35k points, I'd like to get a free hotel stay, what's the best option?

Thanks
