If I spend 30k on my SPG card I will get SPG PLAT. Will that get me as well United silver status ? Is it worth in investing to united silver ? Doesn't really offer much benefits.

Hi guys, if the sign up bonus was posted in my Amex account about 2-3 days ago, is it normal that the points have not yet posted in my spg account? Thanks.

Called for retention offer just before first AF due. Got 3k points. Spent about 10k on the card.

They tried to offer me an interest rate reduction or to help me apply for a no annual fee card when I told them I prefer CSR.

Wow the Amex customer service is horrible! They really need a dedicated line for this card.
