I have an SPG AmEx and am a member of SPG. Should I keep the point from the AmEx with AmEx or send them to SPG? Thanks

Hi Dan, those SPG points should have been automatically transferred to your Marriott account, at a 1:3 ratio. E.g. 1 starpoint gets you 3 Marriott points. SPG points no longer exist as they are now Marriott points. I’d suggest logging into your SPG/Marriott account and checking, they are probably there!

I applied for the Chevron/Texaco credit card and was denied with the explanation that my credit score was not good enough, that it was only 362. This is a lie. My credit score was over 600 because 3 days prior to applying for the card I purchased a new car which is what made me think of putting in for it in the first place.
Just another example of a giant business doing, saying, and getting away with whatever they want to and I am extremely angry as well as disappointed.

I have a friend I’d like to refer for a SkyMiles Gold Amex card. Do I get points for referring her?

Hi Kenneth,
Yes, you would receive points for referring your friend.

My Identity has been stolen and the Identity thieves Omar and Ricky aka Alexander bell are the ones draining my bank account with a black card I’ve never applied for. Please contact me.
