I signed up for the biz plat yesterday. I last got the bonus for this card about 18 months ago and closed it about 8 months ago. I wasn't expecting the bonus, I mostly signed up to add value to my MR stash. But I'm wondering: any chance I get the bonus regardless?

I know what the language says, but not sure that's strictly accurate.

If you had the plat before and you now signed up yesterday to a new plat that has the lifetime standard lang you will not get the welcome offer .

What else is new? Less is more.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It was for all the people up thread (and another certain individual who will remain nameless) who said it won't be a problem.

No. No next step. Make sure your account is absolutely spotless, and don't give them any excuse to take away your points. That should your odds of keeping them over 50%.

How long will it take for them to unfreeze my account? Will it happen at all without calling in?

8-12 weeks, likely.

Yes. Unlikely calling will help.
