Having recently signed up for an Amex Plat charge card, I figure I should also open a SPG account - both for the FF mile conversion options it presents, and because I'll probably redeem some MR points to it to book some hotel nights for a planned holiday to the USA next year.
Does anyone know of any SPG sign-up bonuses currently running? I've Googled but haven't found much.
If not, does anyone know if they ever offer them, and if so, how frequently? I don't need the account quite yet so I can wait a little while for a signup bonus to appear.
Also, while I'm at it: any suggested reading material to help me start wrapping my head around the SPG program: how to best take advantage of it, find good value hotel redemptions, etc? I've started browsing the stickies on the FT SPG forum... but I figure there's probably other good resources out there too. Heh, I've just spent 6 months educating myself on how to best leverage FF programs thanks to AFF (and definitely still have some way to go!)... all I can think of right now is "here we go again"
