Can you explain this point on Hyatt, since they are not SPG properties? I’ve never heard this before.
“5% back from participating Park Hyatt, Andaz, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency and Hyatt hotel or resort locations within the U.S.”
Thanks.
Dani – “As a built-in Business Card feature, you automatically receive a 5% discount credited to your American Express statement OR 2 additional Membership Rewards® points for each eligible dollar spent at participating Hyatt Hotels & Resorts in the U.S. up to $10,000 per Card Account in a calendar year.”
Why not both?
I’m a happy customer of the SPG (Personal) Amex and now looking seriously into the SPG (Business) Amex. Would you recommend that I:
a) call/email Amex and ask to convert my Personal to Business card? (is that even possible?)
b) apply for a brand new Business card and collect 25K points bonus after meeting the criterias? (would they give me a bonus as a non-new SPG Amex cardholder)?
Goal (if all possible) is to keep just one card (Business), preferably with the same card number (but not a big deal if it’s not).
Please let me know everyone’s thoughts. Thx!
