Starwood AMEX Master Thread

Can I combine my wife's SPG account with mine?

Yes aslong as the spg account is the same address.

I just spoke to a rep and was told if was an AU on someone's SPG in the past 12 months I would not be eligible for the 25K bonus. Is that a fact?

Of course not. Stop calling reps will ya??

I have two question I applied for a new Spg card but since I had two from years ago i did not receive the bonus is there anything i can do ?

and as I was reading the details it writes that you cant get starwood points by buying cash reload cards or the equivalent I.E. gift cards and they have a special code from shops to determine the items you are buying is approved for getting spg points? is that true ? does any one know of this ?

Cannot receive bonus if you've had the card within 12 mos. If that is not true, then you should have received.

I had thought not, but I did see one report a couple months ago on here that seemed to upend my belief. My guess is they still cannot, but can't explain that one report.

(Points for the person that find it.)

I got denied for a starwood card because my fico score is 679 and Amex says my risk score is too high. I have however a BGR card that allows me to charge about 22K/month (I checked on their online tool). Is there any way to transfer CL to a new card like we do with Chase Lending services (this is already after reconsideration that I called and it was pending until today again)?

I have a good CL with Chase, but I need Amex only for thier OPEN program, which gives you 5% cashback on Fedex up to 20K/year, we ship 60K, so three cards will save us 3K, not bad.

BRG is a charge card so you have no CL on it.

So you really can't stop yourself from calling reps? Fascinating.

Crazy right?

I understand I have no CL, but I have a spending allowance. With Chase, charge cards do have a CL, and you can shift lines. Any way for Amex?

Really takes HUCA to a whole new level....

I remember reading in one of the threads that you can't, can't find it now though.

ETA: Here you go.
