Yes.
thanks, it seems to say when I click the link that if I am a current American express customer the deal may not apply to me.
The deal I am seeing is 10k points to start and no annual fee first year.
when I go incognito I see 25k.

should I go incognito and not mention I am a current amex customer ? or is this deal only 10k since I am a current customer?

the deal should be 25K for everyone.

If I already have the Starwoods card, can I apply incognito and get the sign up bonus? Would I leave the Starwoods number blank?

the way it could work is one personal SPG card and one business SPG card per person.
2 total bonuses.

Me too. Best I could get them to do after a ton of phone calls was offer me 3k SPG points.

One thing I noticed every time I called is they first would ask me for the promo code. Being that I applied through a link from this site I didn't have a code, but eventually I was able to figure out what the code was on my wife's app. Maybe next time they ask I'll just give them that code, but I doubt it'll work.

Only thing I can think of is something going wrong with the cache, but I'm pretty sure I remember applying for the cards on separate computers. One way or another, I take screen shots of every app now.

Hmm. What was the promo code?  I guess i'll try that too next time i call

Is there a link/site that shows which SPG hotels have suites?
Looking for 2 room suites that will work for platinum check-in.
(i understand it's based on availability, and not guaranteed)
is the only way to find out about hotel suites by researching each individual hotel website?

You can always transfer spg points to anyone with the same address so I guess you should be able to transfer,
But as chuck said, your points won't be lost with the closure of your card.
