From past experience, Amex is known to offer an annual bonus increase on the SPG personal and business cards during the summer (last year it was August 11).
Based on inside sources, Reddit member ittav0321 says the bonus will increase on September 21, 2016.
According to the report, it was initially supposed to increase on August 22, but business decided to push it off until September.
It’s likely that the Starwood-Marriott merger might be affecting this somehow. And who knows – maybe the CSR release on the 21st/22nd led to the decision to delay the increased bonus until they can get the headlines.
Still unknown is whether they’ll increase the bonus from 25,000 to 30,000 as in past years, or if they’ll offer again their best-ever offer of 35,000 which was available back in March.
