Canadian SPG Amex * 10,000 pts + first year FEE-FREE

[Ohboiya]

Divide $90 by the difference in points (7200) = $0.0125 value per SPG point.

I'm obviously not lucid tonight.

So if the room rate is $200 + tax, or 12,000 points or 4,800 points + US$90 ... the latter is the way to go right?

I got the SPG Amex on the last day of the free year promo. I've long since passed the $1000 milestone, but my SPG balance is still at zero. How long should the points take to show up?

They'll be posted after your Amex statement that you reached $1000. If they don't, call AMEX to make sure they have your SPG number correctly.

JWL is correct - I called AmEx (1-877-325-AMEX(2639) and the 15000 pts will be posted/transferred to your SPG account after the stmt that the $1000 limit has been reached.

I was confused and thought I should see the 15000 pts listed somewhere on my AMEX account thru the AMEX site.

My stmt comes out next week so then I should see the 15000 pts in my SPG account.

i got my SPG Amex a couple of months ago, completed what's required to get the 15000 pts bonus and now I want to know how do i access my SPG points? i looked through the papers Amex sent me when I got my card and no details on how to access my SPG points so I assume I would have to sign up an SPG account first first?

I believe if you didn't sign up with an SPG #, they just create one for you.

You can call them for it then create a login on the SPG website
