Which Plat card?
All I can speak for is SPG, Delta, and PRG.
The one in this thread ;)

so if I haven't had a charge card recently, I should just use one of the links in the last few pages, and should be able to get the 50K?

can't even speak for those, i think you just made it under the radar before they completely integrated the new rules.   i had some cards from around then that i got the bonus on...  since slightly after that, i haven't gotten anything.   

of course in general it's possible that a new delta/spg # might help getting around the new rules... i guess that depends how they set it up.

One of my friend was denied on 50K bonus last week because of not a first timer.  My is exactly 8 weeks today from I met the spending requirement. I will send sm to ask tomorrow. It seems YMMV at this point.
Update. I sent sm and got denied on 50K bonus on my platinum card because I have the card within 12 months. I will try send sm again in a few days, but no confidence that I will eventually get it.

I am waiting for points to be posted for my PRG card. I met spending requirement 6 weeks ago. I have always seen points for PRG posted  once I met spending requirement, but not this time. I will wait for 8 weeks before I sent SM to ask. Will report back.

We can still churn once every 12 months, but the question is, can we do a 3BM for Plat/MB Plat/PRG at the same time once 12 months are up and get all the points for all 3 since we applied for all 3 at the same time.


hmmmmmmmm

True. Also we have to figure out the 12 months. starts from the time you get the card or the time you cancel the card.  Otherwise we may never get the points  :)

It sounds like the clock may start when you cancel the card.  I waited out a PRG bonus that never came (8 weeks as of yesterday); the last PRG card and bonus was over a year ago but I only cancelled that card a few months ago.  So I have had that product in the last 12 months.   I guess I can send a futile SM and see the response!
