[ANALYSIS] The AMEX SPG Preferred Guest Credit Card

ByMatt

Currently, AMEX is running a 21,000 Starpoints sign up bonus if you have a friend or family member who can refer you the card. Otherwise, the regular sign up bonus is only 10,000. So far, this is the highest sign up bonus seen for this credit card, so if you have been wanting to sign up for this card, this would be a good time. Though I still prefer waiting for the first year annual fee to be waived before signing up for any credit card. I actually prefer having a smaller sign up bonus if it meant that the annual fee was waived. That being said, the annual fee can still be worth it depending on your spending habits.

But before I describe the cards, keep in mind that you can only take advantage of the larger sign up bonuses that I will be referring to if you have a friend or family member who can refer the credit card to you. Also keep in mind that they are both Charge Cards, so you will have to pay your balance off in full every month.
