Apply For The American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card Here

 

 

 

 

 

 

I recently posted about the bonus offer that is being offered with the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card (and the business card).  The terms of the offer are that new card members receive 35,000 SPG points if they spend $5,000 on the card within the first 3 months.  This is the biggest bonus offer we have seen with the Amex SPG Card and I wanted in on the action.

I was hesitant to apply for Rob, because only a few weeks ago, I applied for (and he got approved for) the American Express Hilton HHonors card with a 70,000 bonus point offer.  I filled out the SPG Amex application online for him anyway, and guess what?  He was instantaneously approved.  Note, had he not been approved online, I would have called and tried to push his application through by transferring credit from one card to another (like I frequently do with Chase cards), but I did not even need to.

I was also hesitant with my application in that I have had an American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Card  for many many years.  But guess what I don’t have?  I do not have an American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Business card.  I figured since I already have the American Express Business Platinum card, maybe I would be approved for the SPG Business card as well.  I figured right…my application was also instantaneously approved online.

Ok now I just need to spend 10,000 between both cards over the next 3 months.  Gulp!!!!  But I will do it, even if I need to shop for things in advance.  🙂
