Amex SPG

[Anonymous]

I have only an Amex platinum but spend about 25k/year at spg hotels. Am I foolish not to apply for an Amex spg card? I did apply about 2 yrs ago and was denied but my credit is much improved since then. In fact, I got approved for a new Amex platinum about a week after Amex cancelled my pre-existing one with an offer to reinstate through optima, which I declined and just got a new card.

I'd say absolutely - if you spend that much to start with!!

I'd get it while it's still offered. You can switch points between SPG and Marriot if you ever change where you like to stay.
I got in with Amex about a year ago with HiltonHonors with a 650 Ex score

Thanks guys, for the support. Im sick of paying more and benefiting less than I should. It won't be an overextension since it's money I already spend. Amex has been so odd lately, this the cancellation and same week approval!!:??? Worst case scenario I lose about 6 credit score points

Actually if you already have another Amex card open you won't lose any points if they deny the SPG app.

Amex only does a soft pull if they deny you as an existing member.
