AMEX Starwood Open Close Open

Hiya,

If I open an AMEX Starwood card, get the free points and first year free, then open one for my spouse 12 months later, transfer the points, and close the first one, and so on for the rest time,

1. Will we get 25K points every year, and avoid the annual fee?

2. Will there be significant damage to our credit?

You can open one for your spouse at the same time as you do your own. Your spouse is a person in his/her own right, and can get credit products separately from you.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

A groyser yasher koach!

The point was to avoid the annual fee, whilst having an active AMEX Starwoods card throughout.

When transferring spg points from some else's account do you need the same last name or just the address is enough

I believe the address is enough. Has to be same address for at least 30 days.

My wife got approved today, I got declined :( any ideas. I called they said too many requests for credit recently, and I don't have any credit with them to move over.
Also I wanted them to expedite it as I'm going on vacay soon they said they can't since I applied online any ideas?

So when my wife applied for her AMEX SPG card, she used my SPG account # in the app, and her points are being deposited in there ever since, however, I still don't have my own SPG credit card, all my points are from hotel stays only, but I'd like to apply for my own 2 SPG cards this summer (Biz and Personal)

Do you think I'll have any issues using again the same (my) SPG account # ?

Do any of you use 1 account for husband and wife? (some benefits to it)
