SBS

Is there a max amount of cards they will allow to register for SBS?
basically im think about doing a 3bm at amex and want to know if i get them after the 18th (which i think is registration) then will it be too late?
thanks

Last year there was a cap, but 1'st year didn't have

Max of your own, or overall? I wouldn't do a 3BM just for this, but if you're doing one anyway, why not. IMHO $75 is marginal in the context of 100k+ MR (or whatever your signup bonus for all three cards is).

AsherO,
New to this so need some insight, why wouldn't you do a 3 or 4 BM * 2 (husband and wife) for the SBS, and maybe even *3 if I get cards for my son too.
I'm newish to this and cancelled all my previous starwood and AA AMEX cards to avoid paying the fee.  I know now I should have downgraded instead   But I really enjoyed the SBS the past few years and want to participate

Also is Macy's AMEX considered a true AMEX for SBS, can I get an AU on it and get credit for both, or only the primary holder?

If I do this 3 BM what AMEX cards are now "hot".  I have just an old AMEX blue and an AMEX simply biz.

You don't do a 3BM to get $75. If you want to do a 3BM anyway the $75 is icing on the cake.

works with any amex as long as the numbers are diffrent. A word of caution, amex branded cards as opposed to issued cards i.e. Citi, macys, and similar is supposed to work. If it dosent it will be a little tricky to get the credit. By doing a 3X3BM you can maximize with icing, but remember you need to get approved for all cards, and get them in time. Its cutting a bit close if you will need a recon.

Thanks all for the info.

If you 3BM platinums, you should get them on time even with recon.  They overnight them usually.

can anyone answer the original question? does amex put a cap on the amount of cards they register ?

First year they did not IIRC. Last year they did.
