2,500 Bonus Starpoints For Adding An Additional User Onto Your Starwood Consumer Card

I did this about 2 months ago before the promotion. Would Amex honor the bonus in this case?

@Anonymous:
No, but you can open another card now.

can I get this for my 2yr old?

Can I add a user who has their own card?

Also, how do you add yourself as a user?

Im getting this massage
We are sorry, you are not able to apply for an Additional Card online. Please call the number on the back of your Card if you have additional inquiries.

@Torah613:

yes you are able to add yourself as a nd additional user.

i did it myself last week (yes Dan was late this time)
and the miles has already posted in my account even the card is not yet in the mail box

Just wondering why you waited so long before posting.

@mark: Read the post.

@CE: business acc? got same message.
worked on personal tho

@mark:

Per AMEX chat rep, no – the min age requirement for the AU is 15 years of age

if i add myself as a user, will it show up on my credit report as separate account (and count against the chase 5 card thing) ?

If I open it for myself will it count against chase’s 5 card limit?

does this promotion work for AMEX Spg Canada?

Can one remove an additional user and then add them back to receive the bonus?

@mark: sure… you can probably also get it for all your unborn children too… READ THE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5000 points , no sweat !
Thank you, Daniel.

hi I have 2 amex spg cards one business and one personal linked up to one starwood acct am I eligible to receive this offer 0for adding the additional user on both cards making a total of 5000 or only one card?thank you very much

@ Mark
You can’t add a 2 year old. Must be 15 years old
@torah613
You can be an authorized user on another person’s card even if you have your own.

@paul: I have the same question as paul, Please advise. Thank you

@paul: @Eli: The post says the offer is for consumer cards.

I had 2 additional cards on my Amex and then added a 3rd (all with my name and social). They were all reporting on my credit report as separate accounts (so my 20k credit line was showing as 80k available which helped me). Problem was that the new aditional card was being report as a new acount less than 6 months old, so it took down my credit score. I called Amex and asked them to stop reporting the new acount because it was hurting my score. They took care of it immediately and only the 3 older accounts were reported and the 4th was removed

Just opened a user up last week before
Promo. I called today and they honored it for being s good standing user.

I signed up on Monday and already got the 2,500 SPG points in my account!
That was quick Amex 😉

I was told that it is too late in the day to apply for this!!!
Has this happened to anyone else?

@Annie:
Told by whom?

Called back and the are willing to give me the offer because I have had an active account for years.

The 1st time I was handed over to the “promotional department”. 2nd time the person who answered the phone told me they will do it because they see I do earn a lot of starwood points and for quite some time

Thank you once again. Signed up for one additional user.

@Anna:
Why didn’t you just use the link in this post?

“We are sorry, you are not able to apply for an Additional Card online. Please call the number on the back of your Card if you have additional inquiries.”

i keep on getting an error message

Just a quick FYI –

I called AMEX today and added my daughter and cried how I missed out on the points since I thought it ended today and they still gave them to me.

Worth a try.

Thanks Dan! i did this on the last day (Sept 19th) and the points posted on the 22nd… awesome!
