just added 5 cardholders under 5721 for 50k but the CSR ominously said "this offer code is only for targeted cardholders, were you targeted?" to which I answered yes, which she ominously followed up with saying, "after we confirm you were targeted you will receive 10k points per card."  I gave names and birthdays, no SSN's.  let's hope they don't check!   8)

This is exactly what happened with me. But I also bit the bullet, and am hoping for the best. I know my account is notated. So I gambled with $45. We'll see what happens!

FWIW, the rep that helped me said I would be contacted to provide the SSNs, but several previous posts on this thread lead me to believe I won't be.

Called AXP-EARN number, mentioned the deal, CSR confirmed it with me and notated my account for the one AU I already have and the other four I will add online. So easy!

I dont have a MR account so if I end up getting the points I'm assuming they'll have to be starpoints

Or they'll tell you you're SOL because all they did was notate the account, they probably assumed you have at least one MR card.

I don't think they will give you 10k Starpoints per AU :(

Definitely possible I'm just hoping that even if not they'll give me some sort of compensation

I just called AMEX at the number on the back of my Starwood card and tried to add additional cardholders. I was told that the bonus is only for new cards not AUs. I tried both the codes 5854 and 5721. She would not budge. She also told me [as I know] that Starwood cards do not give MR points only Starwood points. Is there another number I should have called. I also have a Gold Delta card and a Green card but I think they charge for AUs. The Green card gives me MR.

Why do I suspect some of us will have DOZENS of cards mailed to us in the coming days with no points to show for it, unless you are in Argentina or are able to fax proof of offer to MR, "account noted, or not, with 2721 or 5854"...

I got a MR rep to post 5854 on my starwoods today and sign me up for 7 additional cardmembers at 10K per. I now suspect I will see nada from it in the end and maybe nothing from my "2721 noted" platinum card too...

At least there is no charge for the starwoods added cards...I am sure it will be fun with the charges on the platinum...

I've never heard of 2721, and you should of used 5721 not 5854 since it is for Argentina.

If my account was notated that I will receive 10k per additional card added, then I'm damn well going to insist I get my points.

Amex has always matched other offers, and respects what they promised you
