Our Referral Bonus Is Now Even Richer

NOW EARN 7,500 BONUS STARPOINTS FOR EACH APPROVED REFERRAL.



I had 2 referrals not too long ago.  Is this the kind of thing that can be matched (like sign up bonuses)?

Don't think the mods saw this yet, but it should be removed...

I wasn't sure, I removed mine myself just now
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Yup, we sometimes forget that this wonderful site is run partially on referrals. I posted that as well only to have it deleted, and I then thought about it. I amended my quote

Is it worth spending $422
For 17,300 Starwood points = 0.024 cents per point?

only if you have a very specific redemption in mind and it will be worth it for you.

Can someone that is a current au still be eligible for the signup bonus?

what date? I'm showing 4.66 on a random date. It's probably some Canadian tax. Checked another Canadian hotel and it was $15 on a random night

Is there a "resort fee" or "parking fee"? those are not waived on SPG award night stays.

Currently, you can only apply for an Amex Spg card. There is a business version, and a personal version. You can get either or both, to fit your needs. Dan has a referral link to the application.

The main difference is the spending threshold

the personal is only 3k
the biz its 5k
