Does the one lifetime bonus apply to business card too?
I have not paid attention to credit card policy for a while, applied SPG business card today.
I thought one can get sign up bonus for business card every 12 months.
It changed a while ago

So did you actually cancel, or are you going to wait till the end of the 60 days?

Amex clawed back 100k promotional points a month after they posted from me because I immediately downgraded the card to green after receiving the points. (at least that's what a couple of reps told me). Has this ever happened to anyone?
No MS and nothing shady. Everything was legit spend.
seems like I'm hitting a brick wall.

No disrespect to you but some people are so greedy. You got 100k points, you got a $200 airline fee reimbursement and will get another $200 on Jan 1, plus free global entry why dont you just leave the card open until next year and then downgrade it.

Yes. You are right. Although I would never consider myself greedy as I don't  MS or any non straight up airline credits. But I'll take your mussar anyhow and I'll know for next time.
Anyhow the latest rep said that I didn't keep the card open for the required 92 day time frame and there is nothing they can do to reverse it. IIRC I downgraded it at 90 days or something like that.
So aside from mussar anyone have any advice.

Which link did you sign up through?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
