SPG AmEx Card Promotion: 30,000 Bonus Points Worth $600

American Express is having a promotion for its Starwood Preferred Guest credit card. If you apply for this card and charge $1,000 during the first three months, you will get 30,000 bonus points in the Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) program. Starwood operates hotels under Four Points, Sheraton, Westin, W, and few other brands. SPG points can be redeemed for free nights at those hotels. At a value of at least $0.02 for each SPG point, the 30,000 bonus points are worth $600 or more. I applied and received an instant approval. The promotion ends on July 6.

This is not a sponsored post. American Express or anyone else doesn’t pay me anything if you apply. I’m just passing along the deal.

I knew about this card for some time. I didn’t apply until now because of its $45 annual fee (waived in the first year). Now the signup bonus will cover the annual fee for the next 10-15 years.
