I have SPG personal and business open right now, but I got an "exclusive" invitation by email to open cards for the 30K bonus on a different spg.com account number. Does that mean I can open with that account and get the bonuses even though I have cards open with them?

YMMV, it seems to work for Dan

I applied today for both the personal and business SPG cards, personal got approved instantly, called in for the Biz app and they told me the expected yada yada about it being a duplicated app and that I should give it 3 days,

Should I call again recon after 3 days or let them do what they do? my concern being if I call they might pull my report again or is that not true?

It looks active to me, Haven't tested it but I will as soon as SPG goes 30k

Mind sharing which program you are referring to?

Is there an advantage to having additional AU's?

Maybe only the fact that more people accumulate points for you, other then that, no

Yes, they might pull again.  If you really don't want them to, you can freeze your report, but that will result in an instant decline if they try to pull again.

Any recent experience doing 2bm/3bm which include SPG Personal & SPG Business- how many pulls on your credit?

Does leaving address blank still work (for 2nd personal spg card)?
Also, what does the 12 months go by (If address on SPG account changed a month ago). Current address or original address of SPG card?
Thanks...
Bump
And nice new pic Dan...

1 pull
But you still had to wait 3-4 days, right? I did a 2bm for SPG biz and personal and they wouldn't hear about processing the Biz app now, I must wait a week, and something tells me that by then they will most certainly pull again

I know that if I want to apply for a second business and personal spg I have to create a new spg account under a different address, which address do I apply for the spg Amex under? Same as spg account or my present address(considering that I will use my parents address for the spg account)

Hi,

I want to get the 30K offer for the business SPG card but I don't have documented income. I remember reading on dansdeals.com that getting the business one is risky because AMEX can ask for financials. I already have the spg consumer.

thanks,

Jeremy
