What's the value for Starwood points now? (about 50k) TIA

Does cancelling SPG card = forfeit SPG points in the account?

There's about 100 threads where this can possibly be posted, simple question, after reading up on spg churn is seem like spg isn't a churnable card (besides for every 12+ months) I was just trying to figure out how people get way over 150k spg points, Is that just from spending that was done on the card? Or am I missing something?thanx

No. They only buy in intervals of 20k

-1 I got a quote for 30k for $450. But I do agree that most do only buy in intervals of 20k

Awesome, I can't wait for that deal.

I have a consumer spg I got around 6 months ago. I don't know what to do at this point to get another spg. Go with Sole Prop? Upgrade spg to another card, I know spg can't be churned within a year. Any ideas DDF?
