Did you try clearing history etc. Unless it just went dead. This link was being discussed  and used successfully on DDF for the last few weeks. Search and you will see.

There was at least one person who reported doing that successfully. Search and you will find.

Thanks! Just got approved!
Any chance they will give me problems with the 50k since I got the bonus once before?
with all the new rules they made about the points I'm crossing my fingers that these points actually post.
it CAN be done!

I reported it, as did Daganster and (I think) one other reader.

Great. There's always that chance, make sure you have a screenshot of this offer page and hopefully you'll be fine.

Nope. But you can apply for the 50k Mecedes plat if you have the regular plat or vice versa, just not two of the same card.

YMMV (it'll be harrd) getting approved for the same Amex card if you have one already, but once you get the card you should get the points,

do you think a 3bm with platinum, Mercedes platinum, and delta amex would be successful?

i would have 60 days to cancel and get the fee back?

If you're creditworthy it should succeed. If you need to call recon, do so separately for each app.

You will be able to get your annual fees back if you cancel within 60 days (as long as you have another Amex card open). You might want to consider Amex SPG as your third card.

IIRC the 60 days money back works without another card open . Its after 60 days that in order to get it prorated you might need another card.

This whole refund thing is (as everything) YMMV. I know people who got the entire $450 back 90 days after activation-75 days after the fee posted. They just insisted that they should get it back and the CSR did just that.

I just got approved for the card.

Does anyone know of any offer codes to ask them to get additional miles?

Thanks.

It's 6751, but I'm not sure you could get it matched (as the poster before me said).
