Well the standard reading of the terms pretty clearly says that 20,000 points will be awarded after each transaction of at least $5000. The rep said that it just needs to accumulate the $5000. Those are conflicting statements
Can you post a picture of the offer?

From a plain english standpoint, it seems like the rep is wrong.

If I spend the wording as the rep says to and I don't get credited the right amount - can I have them appeal it based on this convo with the rep?

You can obviously try. You'll only know if it'll work if you try it. Everything in this game is YMMV.

I don't want to spend $50000 the wrong way and not get the proper points
Try 5000 in 2 the bonus should post in 2-3 days after
If the rep is right but I highly doubt it

Is the 100k targeted bonus still alive and well? Have heard of more 50k ones these days.

You can't go wrong doing 5K transactions, that'll for sure work no matter which way you cut it. But I understand that that's not so possible for everyone

Which cards am I able to downgrade a Platinum to? Also, I just want to confirm, that if I downgrade to the PRG I'll get the airline credit and GE credit even though I already got it when it was Platinum?

PRG, Gold, Green.
No GE credit, yes PRG airline credit.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Does the spend refunded for travel fee (mpx) count towards sign up bonus?
