I sent the following email to Amex this morning thru the secured message site:

Hello,
I have been an Amex Gold member for a few months now, and I understand that new applicants for the card are being offered 25,000 MR points (https://www304.americanexpress.com/personal-card-application/premier-rewards-gold-card/40185-305-0/0/0/0/n/) after $1000 of spend. This very generous offer was not available when I applied for the card, and I respectfully ask that you consider my request to receive some portion of the current offer.
With kind regards,
regalhome

I got the following response about an hour and a half later:

Good Morning regalhome,

I understand your concern regarding the points and will be glad to assist you today.

I apologize that the offer you advised me of was not available when you applied for your Card. I have reviewed your account records and see that for your promotion you were awarded 15,000 points on 8/23/2010.

As an exception due to your history with us, I have issued your account with 10,000 points on 2/9/2011. You now have 29,286 available points.

It has been a pleasure to serve you and I hope I continue to provide you with the excellent customer service you deserve. Thank you for your loyal membership since 2004. Have a great day !
Sincerely, Margaret Maggs Email Servicing Team American Express Interactive Services

Did anyone receive this sign up bonus even though they already have an amex charge card like the amex plat?
I don't want to sign up for another credit card right now unless i have a good chance at getting the 25k.
Any news?

Charge cards are always churnable IME.  But why churn this one when the Plat can be churned for more miles?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Close, reopen, and enjoy.

I was planning on closing anyway. I'll try the churn then and see what happens.
thanks for the advice!

I opened an amex prem rewards card in nov for 25k points after $1k, and didnt get the points. when I called  them the other day they said the offer isnt avail for existing customers and that they see I already got the 50k for the amex plat. I told them that I opened the prem rewards card first so its their mistake for giving me the points also for the plat, but I deserve the points for the rewards! they said I should submit my complaint in writing. Any advice how to proceed?
thanks!
