American Express has two new targeted spending offers for Amex SPG cardmembers that can earn you either 10K or 15K extra Starpoints. Most people will usually see these offers if their annual fee is due during the promotion period, but that might not always be the case, so it’s worth checking.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

SPG Starpoints are probably the most valued currency out there, so this is a great offer if you are targeted. It will give you 2 points everywhere on $10K or $15K in spend. But, this time around you have to complete the full spending requirement of $10K or $15K in order to get any bonus Starpoints at all. Previous offers would also give you 5K points after spending $5K, so it was a bit safer in case you weren’t sure you could do the whole spending.

You can check to see if you are targeted even if you didn’t receive an email from Amex, using the links posted above. If you are, you need to register for the offer and then complete the spending.
