Starwood Preferred Credit Card from American Express
This is a Review of the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express. the card has its positives and negatives like any other credit card.
To start off this card is good for those who like to earn frequent flyer miles. So how does the card work?
Cardholders earn one Starpoint for every dollar they spend on the card. These starpoints can be doubled when used at participating Starwood Properties and retail outlets. these points stay active as long as the cardholder is active with the card within 12 months of getting their last points.
A nice perk as a new card holder is that you will receive 10,000 bonus points after the first purchase which is good at category 1 and 2 hotels across the nation.
Want to earn some additional points? Of course you do. Then all you have to so is spend 15,000 dollars with the card and earn an additional 15,000 bonus points as long as its done within the first 6 months of having the credit card.
Another perk is an annual 50% discount on future Starwood stays for up to 5 nights.
Now you are wondering what fees are there for having a Starwood credit card? For the first year there is none, and then following there is a $45.00 fee annually. You can get a 2.9% fixed rate introductory apr as well on purchases and balance transfers.
Overall for the person that travels for business regularly, and is looking for discounts for their stay as well as their future flights, the Starwood Preferred Credit Card from American Express is a good bet.
