Although you have never heard of it, others have - as clearly spelled out in those comments.
It's apparently an issue and I'm trying to get some feedback on here.

You're being very ambiguous. Please be more clear. (What cards did you have?... What type/s did you open?...)

ook i"ll try this again the question was
Are people having trouble getting the bonus - specifically, the 20k after 5k spend?
Rumors are that Amex is denying it for people who have a Hilton, Delta or other Amex card!
my response
i just got it on 2 new cards 25 +5 on each no issues and i have two other amex consumer cards
i meant i just got to SPGs one business one consumer and i got the 20k (typo before when i said 25 sorry)after 5 spend on both of them even though i have a blue cash and a blue sky card. is that better?

You didn't get the 10k or the 20k after $5k? If not, you may still stand a chance with that.

how long after you closed the first card did you open the second?

Sounds like within 12 months.

Wife's SPG is up for renewal. Any benefit in keeping it a SPG card vs changing it to a no annual fee card like the blue cash? (is that the best amex card w/o an AF?) I have my own SPG card for SPG points etc.

Whaddya mean renewal? If you're eligible to get the bonus again why wouldn't you do SPG again?
