Applied and approved on the spot. They even gave me my card number so I can use it at my SPG hotel this weekend and get the $300 back right away.
Correct me if I am wrong, but all Marriott and SPG cards get 6X per Marriott and SPG stays so it would otherwise not matter which card is used?
I had the same quesstion. Aside from the sign-up bonus, and if I'm already at gold status and none of them can get me to Platinum, what's the benefit of this card? I'm a Hilton loyalist (I actually earn from large meeting and stay expenses for work and they are way more generous with bonus earning to where I can get often get about 30% back in points) but we do spend some money at SPG hotels and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best card to put that business spend on, basically to keep one card for the annual free night and to use only for SPG expenses. This high end card, or any of them, don't offer a way to spend up to platinum or spend up to earning an annual second night, right?
It seems like the SPG Biz card also gets 6ppd and will also get gold status at 30k spend, which we will spend at spg properties. Y'all jumping on this just to get the bonus, free night and put back in the sock drawer? I want to make sure I'm not missing something.
