Do more reading on this - SPG is no more (or will be shortly).
He probably means before the cutoff. I'll know on Thursday myself.

The link he provides has 2 tiles that mention receiving 20k points through the link. When you click it, you get the standard application page. Everything on the original page lists $250 of potential credits, but the two tiles do mention 20k points still.

That being said, the link code is exactly the same for both the 20k and $250 credit links, so I would believe you're only going to receive the credits. I could be wrong, but that's my belief.

Does not matter what the tiles say. Official T&C mention $100/$150 bonus, so that’s that.

DP. Signed up for the SPG offer for Marriott card holders just before it expired. Hit the spend during 1st month. Received the 25000 SPG points today when my statement was generated. Had both personal and business SPG before.

When you applied was $100/$150 the offer? I believe the 20k points offer ended mid-April.

Just got SPG points following the minimum spend but was credited with only 20,000 instead of 25,000 for holders of the Marriott Visa. The link in the targeted e-mail was used for this. Called AmEx and they said it would be 6 to 8 weeks for crediting the points, I assume if they agree with it.

This is my second bad run-in with AmEx, the first being the GCR offer for the AmEx Gold when GCR told me that I wasn’t on the list (presumably those on the list are the ones taking advantage via the GCR site but I was most definitely logged into GCR when applying). Eventually, AmEx came through but this is too much time and effort for something that should be automatic.

No more AmEx offers for me - anyone else have similar issues?
