Thinking about applying for the SPG Amex this weekend to get the sign-up bonus before the card goes away. Good move? Should I wait and see if there's a better joint card?

Amex isn't going away. Marriott signed an extension with both chase and American Express

Yes, but Amex has a rule you can only get a sign-up bonus 1 time per product. If this product goes away, it makes sense to get it now since this is a current bonus opportunity on a product that will likely go away.

The reason I'm considering not getting the card is that if Amex automatically converts current SPG holders to the new product, you lose the opportunity to get the bonus on the new product.

It's a great card, get it. Probably the best non-premium travel card.

Currently in Saas sales for MDM and AV, but I'm getting tired of the sales side and constant budget chase.
