If you haven't had this card you should get the bonus.
But no reason to think that approval is dependent upon eligibility for the bonus, right?

is the $200 airline credit also for additional card holders or only main card?

Only on the main card for the airline fees
-.5 only 1 time per account. Any card can triger it , not just the primary card

if your not waiting for a category bonus or welcome bonus, you'll get the points regardless. Also, you will most probably get a 5,000 bonus if it's a new platinum account. (most of my new platinum accounts were getting 5,000 bonus points after platinum downgraded to green)
I didn't get 5k for downgrade (on two occasions).

is there a time limit to when you need to use your GE reimbursement? In other words, can I apply for the card today and use the benefit in Dec to get reimbursed?

Logged into my account to go for this offer - went to the platinum card (not a cardholder yet, only an AU on family account - but have 3 other AMEX cards: PRG/SPG/Everyday) and the text "Apply for an Upgrade" were displayed, does this mean the offer is not available to me?
