Yup, I only got 15k for my last one

if someone had a starwood card already will they get this 75k because its a different offer or it dosen`t  make a difference?

it is the same product. But you can get the SPG luxury card. That is considered a different product

thanks,
now a different topic , my starwood card just entered the second month of the second year i called them that i wanna cancel it and get back my annuel fee ,
they answered that it has to be done within   the first month and now even i cancel it i wouldent get back my annual fee
is this for real? r they r just trying to scare me so i wouldent cancel it?

Does it make sense to start using the SPG card for gas purchases at 4 Marriott pts./$ ?
I have Amex cash that gives $0.03/$ and chase ink that gives 2 UR pts/$

No

I've been trying to figure out for a while. It says clearly that spending your Amex SPG card at SPG/Marriott properties will get you 2 points per dollar spent. My question is, will elites be rewarded more through their cc?

I know, previously, prior to the merger,  platinum members would get 3 points per dollar.

elite points have nothing to do with CC

prior to the merger platinum members using the SPG card at an SPG properties received 3 points per dollar.

wrong. They received 5 PPD (or 6 for plat 75) and again it has nothing to do with using your card. Anyone got 2 SPG per dollar spent at SPG hotels prior to the merger and you now get 6 Marriott points per dollar so that is the same.

What is the current sign up bonus on the SPG AMEX personal card?

Also can i still get the welcome bonus if the only card i have is the SPG Biz card?

I'm speaking from experience. its normally 2 points per dollar at starwood properties. but Platinum received an additional point.

nothing to do with using your SPG card. If you read what I wrote you will see that everything is correct
