A) IME 2-3 days after spend is complete
B) IME a week after adding AU's
Is there a bonus for adding AU?

I have Amex Green and just got an offer for upgrade to platinum for 30k bonus
Has anyone done better than that?
I assume the 100k offer is only on new applications, not upgrades

Don't do it. Wait to get an offer for Platinum. Only once in a lifetime now, don't waste it on 30k.

And then after you get the new Platinum, go ahead and upgrade your current Green card.

I don't see why that is any different then getting matched to an offer.

because they don't have you yet as a customer, whereas if you've already signed up, you already gave them your business.

You need to see if your business card has the offer.

What I do is check my email and search American Express cancel and all the canceled cards email from Amex come up. People have claimed that the cancellation email from Alexis a ymmv but for me it hadn't been.
