I just signed up. What is strange is that if you pretend to close put the page, a box pops up saying that if you sign up, you will get 10k with the first purchase....and then 15k after spending 30k in 3 months...

The regular app page says its 15k after spending 1k in 3 months...something doesn't make sense

Yes, Amex in my account summary describes the points earned as follows:

15K MR Points w/first purchase
15,000 rewards premier welcome

These points posted within two weeks of card activation.

I just signed up for the card last month and I have since spent more then $1,000. I am waiting to see if I get an additional 15,000 for spending more then $1,000 in the first three months. when I originally signed up. I will post again if this happens. I also have 3 other Amex cards, so if you have other Amex reward cards don’t cancel just apply for this one and i believe you can transfer Amex points from one card to another.

are amex MR points good for anything?

Yes!  I use them for a 1:1 transfer to other programs.  For example, my 30,000 bonus points are going to be transferred to Continental for 30,000 miles, which just so happens to be enough for a round trip ticket to Cancun.  Check out www.membershiprewards.com for more.

I had seen the 30,000 points posted to my account last week. Yesterday when I checked, they were gone!  I called and the agent told me that he saw it as pending until the end of this billing cycle.  I hope I still receive them.  It seems that they've caught the error! Should I still attempt to reach 1000 in spending?

Is anyone else noticing the points were posted and now disappeared??

Try calling MR and ask if you pay the statement now can the 30,000 points be posted to your account immediately so you can transfer them to an airline.

Thanks for the advice.  i tried calling today and they said that regardless of when I pay, the points will be applied at the end of my billing cycle. 

Anyone else notice that their miles disappeared?

 usually it will show what you have earned but they are pending. they usually become available into your acct for using after that statement closes and is paid off.

 eg my statement closed on 2/10 and is due 3 /08 I spent $10,000. on 2/11 I will have 10,000 pts pending, so till I pay the bill they arent available to me. If I pay the the FULL amount on 2/11 then I understand once that payment clears the pts will be mine to spend.

 on my 3/10 statement the pts earned by my spending on my 2/10 bill will show as earned and in my acct, but not the pts I earned for any spending between 2/11 & 3/10 . the pts always get posted once the previous bill has been paid.

Mopst CCs programs dont work this way, you get the pts for that months bill then and there w/o having to wait till you pay the bill. I think its only Amex charge Cards that run this way. Since Amex DL,SPG,HH CCs transfers the pts/miles then and there as well

I also just saw on my Amex account online 30,000 mr points and i only spent $1,200. The points say earned not pending, does that mean they can't take them back?

You should be good, go and transfer them now if you're worried.

Are they still pending?
I think transferring them is a good idea.
Figuring out which program is the only challenge...

Officially no, however someone once did transfer points to my account by saying I was his bro-in-law.  I was never been able to replicate that myself though.

Air Canada and Continental are both good options.
ANA and Flying Blue may be worthwhile.
Airtran even may be decent.
Hard to say really...
