Personal, or business?
He states that this is his second "Starwood Business AMEX"

Thanks, missed that, his choice of fonts made me dizzy :D

So maybe my hunch is correct, and it is 40K for business.

You mean the hunch that it's only 30K for personal? Maybe it's 40K for both. What leads you to believe that since the business is 40K that must mean that the personal is 30K and not 40K?

I guess I was to hasty in following Dan blindly. although, I must say, I had an underlying optimistic feeling all along...
I was just responding to your quote from a commenter on another blog who said that he had heard that you would get 40K for the card.

If people are getting 40K that's great, but that original comment wasn't enough to convince me.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Granted.
I did not mean to put you down in any way, just expressing my mixed feelings about the 40K.

Your screenshot says "CSR" next to the 20k. Did you have to call and talk to a csr to get that to post?
Good Point it does say CSR but no I didnt not call in or anything and a friend of mine who also signed up through Dan's link for the Starwood AMEX Business got the same exact thing.

Have you heard any reports of 40K for the personal?

So far, it seems people are reporting 40k. Has anyone here gotten only 30k?

 30k posted to my acct today 20k & 10k for getting the personal cc again, its AOK in my book and doesnt make a difference to me its not 40k, especially after many who already had the CC got 0

Even wierder thing happened today than me getting 40k from the New Business Account Opening.  Before I applied for my new AMEX Biz card I had opened a second SPG account just in case that would work better to get my bonus even though I was technically churning the card, being that it was my second Starwood Business Card although the first was has been closed for a year.

So yesterday I went online to SPG.com and clicked "merge duplicate SPG accounts" filled out the form and then today I received E-mail saying the merge was complete and gave me by new balance which was 10,000 points more than I knew I had combined between the two accounts, sure enough I received a 10k Starwood pts bonus from AMEX on my old SPG number and I have no clue what it is from.  Well hey I guess I can't complain.  The description of the bonus is: SPG AX LOYALTY BONUS OPEN-ALL If anyone knows what that bonus might be from let me know, I have included a screenshot below.

Nice!
I opened both cards for my wife, 1st time for both, she didn't have a *wood acct., called *wood after I got the cards before I even started spending to keep just one Starwood number since they created two separate ones for each card... guess I shouldn't have done it...
I already spent $1000 on the personal card, nothing on the biz. Haven't checked on my *wood balance yet, practicing "hesech hadaas" for good things to come...

30k posted today (5 days after statement closed and 2 days after regular spending points posted). Posted as 20 & 10. Was a second cc and was not current cardholder at time of application. Ill report back when the business card statement closes. I'm hoping for the 40!

Woohoo! Got 40k on the business card. 10k came after the statement closed the first month (without having spent 1k). 2nd month just closed (1k spending threshold met) and got another 30k! Hoping they do this promo again. Id close my (wifes  ;D) spg cards any day to sign up again and get 70k or even 60k.

im curious...did both of them have the $1000 spent by the end of the first billing cycle? My 40k came in two installments. 10k after the first billing cycle ended and the 30k after the second billing cycle.

I've had 20K 'SPG AX NEW MBR SPEND BONUS-CSR'  and 10K 'SPG AX DEFAULT' post.

No 10K 'SPG AX 1ST PURCHASE OPEN (AX)' post yet. What date did your last 10K post and what description was associated with those 10K?
