Wait at least 30 days (full statement cycle) from when you cancel. Nothing is guaranteed, but take a screenshot and you should be ok (unless there's something wrong with the link).

Saw this on FT.

50K link for Amex Platinum. Several users have confirmed that this has worked for them. (1 already received the 50k)

Make sure that you open the link in an incognito window, or clear your cache.

https://www304.americanexpress.com/personal-card-application/platinum-charge-card/29119-243-0/?BUID=CCG&PSKU=PLA&PID=1&EAID=PPkX79%2Fc*b0-UhbCC01fTmptondByG4QWA&newUI=false

The T&C state that it is for new Platinum members only, but this has yet to be confirmed.

What makes this an excellent offer (if you can get it) is the fact that you can get $400 in airline credit. $200 before January 2012, and then another $200 after Jan 1, 2012.

If you feel scared about the above, why not use this:
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.

If I'm not very credit worthy, should I not attempt a 2BM with the reg plat and mercedes plat? Should I only try for one?

on my wife's account she went through an fr and got a low credit limit, it's not such a big deal but would like to be rid of it. she has two gold cards, one of which i'm going to cancel because of annual fee. should i cancel both and then apply for the plat card, or apply first for plat first?

I'd apply for the Plat first.

I received 2 emails from Amex thanking me for my applications and they include reference numbers. Are those my App IDs?

I don't think so, you gotta try recon and find out.

For recon purposes, they'll work fine.
