Is there a Business card link for 40K MR with only $3K spend in 3 months? I keep seeing $5K spend only.
Why in the world would you get it for 40k?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Fine, let me rephrase. Is there any way for me to get any Amex Platinum Business card offer with only spending $3K and not $5/10/15/20K?

The Business ones are not going for 3k spend. Personal Plats OTOH do.

What's wrong with  spending 5/10/15/20k? (Get a 150k, I'll spend the extra 17k and take 100k. You'll get 50k points instead of 40k. How's that for a deal? )

If I received a code for 100k in the mail, can I use that code for second application for family member on the same day?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

By phone, (you can't change personal offers online anyway).

does it matter which order? Does it need to be done same day? Would a 3bm work for two separate family members?
