Anything better offers than 21k for Starwood now?
I had the card 2 years ago. Will they give bonus again?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

The Costco mastercard is pretty sweet right now too..free with membership..just signed up
biz has bigger point offers but you need to meet spending of 5k during the first 3 months to redeem.
Otherwise Amex gold has its standard offer of 25k
Same as below PM for an invite

Gold 25k if you send 500 in first 3 months
Costco is cash back so nothing great but its free and first 3 months its double rewards

For amex you can do global transfer. I don't believe it will help for other issuers

The Spg personal is now available publicly on American Express.ca for 20k with the AF of $120 Not waived. If you'd be willing to sign up through My  link, I'd really appreciate it. Send me a pm and I'll shoot you a referral link in minutes.

I am looking to build credit in the US while living in Canada I have a SSN and a US address can someone please post clear instructions how to do that? I don't wanna do a global transfer because I still want my Canadian card, unless I can do a transfer on just one card business/personal. Please advise.

I would start from scratch like any American. I.e store or secured credit card, and than apply for more decent cards in a year
