Direct Link to offer (please share if you have it)
Some SPG personal cardholders are getting the following offer:
- Get 10,000 bonus SPG points per $4,000 in spend through November 30th, 2018. Spend an additional $2,000 and receive an additional 5,000 points (e.g spend $6,000 and receive 15,000 bonus points)
- Theres another variation that is spend $2,000 and get 6,000 points. Spend an additional $1,000 and get 4,000 additional points
The Fine Print
- Register by October 31st, 2018
- Spend by November 30th, 2018
Our Verdict
Similar offer already went out to business cardholders. If you spend $4,000 or $6,000 exactly this is an extra 2.5 points per $1 spent. The card normally earns 2x points on all purchases so this bumps it up to 4.5x, not bad but not that crazy for a spending bonus. Keep in mind these offers often go out around renewal date so you also need to work out if you want to keep the card and pay the annual fee or not in that case.
Hat tip to FM
I just registered today; is the start date today, or on all October through 11/30 purchases?
I’m seeing a different offer.
20k points after $10k, then 10k points after $5k.
Here’s the direct offer link:

just to confirm – is this bonus points earned from spent refering to SPG points or Marriott points? I think it is the latter, right? a bit confused bc Doc’s post used the word SPG points.
the offer i got is “You can earn 20,000 bonus points after spending $10,000 in eligible purchases and an additional 10,000 bonus points after spending an additional $5,000 in eligible purchases on your registered Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card between the time you complete registration and November 30, 2018. Registration period ends on October 31, 2018. Terms and Conditions apply.”
Marriott points
earn 6,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 in eligible purchases and an additional 4,000 bonus points after spending an additional $1,000 in eligible purchases on your registered Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card between the time you complete registration and November 30, 2018.
I received the spend $3k, receive 10k bonus points (tiered @ $2k:6k pts, $1k:4k pts).
This works out to 5.33 pts/$1.
Nothing. But I have get 1 extra point at US restaurants and US supermarkets instead on SPG. Mod delete my duplicate post.

both p2 and i received the 20k points for 10k spend plus 10k for an additional 5k spend offer. not as good a return as these offers but i’ll gladly take 1.3 starpoints per dollar.
Not targeted. Offer not offered in list of AMEX Offers or when I chatted with CSR. Only spend $300, get $60 credit at US Marriott/SPG properties available. About to spend $2000 on an overseas Marriott property so disappointing.
Can anyone please refresh my memory on this (this is the first time I’ve ever actually been targeted, so I’ve never needed to try this in the past)… I know AMEX sometimes claws back signup bonuses if they are MS’d using GC.com or GCM, but is this also the case with these spending bonuses, or is it safe to blatantly MS this? Has anything else changed in the last ~12 months in this regard that I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance!
Also curious on this question.
