I saw many people apply both Platinum and Platinum Mercedes card at the same time. I thought that the new term doesn't allow people to get bonus for similar products?

I successfully applied for both platinums (MB and regular) back around November and received both 50K bonuses. (never had any plats or golds before)

<deleted reference to larger signup bonuses>

Edit to add, found on SD.
Edit twice. deleted a link to larger signup bonuses...i'm guessing I may have violated a site rule about signing up through other sites.  Sorry.

Alas, now I see that creditcards.com/creditmatch is offering 100K for the regular.  Doh! (to get this offer, enter your information except for SSN and see what they bring back.)  They're also offering $250 on the Blue Cash Preferred.
Well, I currently hold a Gold Card. Wish I canceled this card earlier. In the T&C it states that the bonus is not for people that has AMEX Gold, Zync within 90 days. I know that now AMEX is really strict on this policy :(

Can you get the bonus from the platinum card and the gold card?  Apply for both at the same time?

Thanks.

Thanks

I did a 3BM with Amex regular platinum, Amex MB platinum and Blue preferred a couple months ago.  Got the bonuses for each platinum...still need to satisfy the Blue Preferred reqs.  Only had TruEarnings before that as well.
