i don't think that's the case. An expert would know for sure, however, you may get a 5K point referral bonus if you send her a new spg app link.

Question: I asked my brother to send me an SPG referral link to try to add 5K to the spg bonus opportunity.

I'm filling out the app now -- Do I write that I have an SPG number?

It shouldn't affect the application bonus either way.

Ok - thanks. Approved for SPG and pending on Delta.
The Delta lady said that the SPG card can arrive April 19, and that they cannot expedite the mailing of the SPG card because that needs to be done prior to approval!??
Does that make sense?

Dan posted that one of the reasons that he loves the SPG card is "Additional cardholders are free on the Starwood card, and each one qualifies for their own promotion credits." can someone please explain what this means to me? Does this mean that if I add another card to my account and spend the 5k in 6 months that the second card would get the bonus as well?

Would'n't that be nice?! He means that the promos such as spend $30 at BP and get $5 back. Additionally, you can use AUs for small business Saturday.

Applied last nite for the starwood card. Today i noticed a decrease in credit line from another amex card that I have. I called amex and after speaking to three diff agents they told me that bec i dont use my entire credit line they automatically took some credit.

Has anyone had an experience where they take credit from one card to another without me asking to?

If you have a referral link, then you can get 5K SPG bonus points when that person is approved.

To clarify, that person will not be an au but would have their own card account. No bonus for adding au
