They said I signed up for the 10000 offer. This doesn't matter? Was there even a 10k offer?

Does anyone have a 25k screenshot?

They are referring to the 10k you get after making your first purchase, but the additional 15k doesn't come until after you spend $5k

Anyone who applied for a starwood card before the limited 30k offer, automatically had the 25k offer.

The answer to your 2 questions are No and No.

And have you reached the $5k spend threshold?

When doing a 2nd Starwood, do you have to create a new starwood number?

I didn't enter my starwood # and they generated a new one for me, but I just plan to have them combine the two once my points post for both cards.

I got my second set of spg cards after having my first set for over a year. I used a new spg number have the second set for about 3 weeks and still didn't get bonuses on the second set. So good luck.

Did you spend the $5K?
Many times the extra 20K for $5K will post either way...

Shouldn't it be under your spg account not Amex?

I believe that you loose SPG points as soon as you close the Starwoods card:( Please correct me if I'm wrong

3rd party points you don't lose upon closing a card.

Imagine losing all your base points for hotel stays because you closed a CC.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Thanks. Can anyone back up that there was no 10k offer? They want me to fax in a copy of the screenshot of the offer.

Yes, I did meet the $5k spend
