New Amex SPG Offer?

[Anonymous]

Just curious if this is a offer that's common or one that's new? Anyone know?

received this via email today.

Thanks in advance....

I think it's a changed offer because of the merger. Maybe they don't want someone getting the 25k points and then transferring to Marriott at x3 rate?

SPG not prg.  I made a post about this at launch.  You can still get 25k point version by finding a referral.  I'd wait until october 5th when the new rumored amex card is going to launch. Assuming its a charge card, pair it with SPG.

The SPG offer for two free nights basically bites. Much better to get the 25,000 points.

If you need a referral to get the 25K points, please PM me. I know it's still showing up on my referral offers.

What is the rumored new card and where did you hear about the October 5 date? CSR is just killing AMEX right now. Platinum in need of a major overhaul to even be competitive. Love the gold Hilton and SPG status and Delta lounge access.  AMEX "Premier Rewards Platinum" would seem to be a logical name. 

Hey AMEX employees out and potential lurkers out there: PM me for feedback on how to improve your card. I can really help you. Love AMEX but needs improvement.

Trust me, we're all Card Members ourselves and not only see the feedback online from forums like this and our social media pages, but give our own blunt feedback ourselves. :-)

Pooka,

As a CC enthusiast I'd love to hear what you can tell us is going on in the back end at Amex. Are the higher ups aware of what public perception is currently after the launch of the C$R!

+1. Points can be transferred to airline partners, sometimes with sweet bonuses. E.g., transferring 20k points to Delta nets you a 5k point bonus. Better value and better flexibility with the points.

Yes. But I cannot make any comments on that. I primarily just watch what people say here and respond with publicly-availablr information.
