No!Plenty of ways to get it for free.
not really. asking nicely doesnt really work anymore. all credit cards that give it have high annual fees
The platinum alone with its airline credits, Amex offers, free GE, spg gold and more makes the entire AF basically vanish.
yes but is it worth it to go through all the trouble of applying for the card, doing pggm just to get spg gold when all you need to do is use 12K spg? I dont think so. And again if you dont have upcoming stays then leave it alone. no use accumulating status if you're not gonna use it. Especially since no one knows what will happen to SPG once the merger is complete
And potentially getting at least six figures MR out of it as well?
Again all that is nice but if you just want SPG gold easily and all you have to do is spend 12K spg or apply for a platinum card I would just go the SPG route. If you also need MR and lounge access and global entry and dont mind adding another pull then yea definitely apply for the platinum!
Trouble? It takes me a total of 2 minutes to get myself $500 and spg gold.
??
Pggm x3 and platinum gives spg gold
No need to even go into 3x vs 2x to make up the AF.
True but why not
