You're better off with a check. If you post it to a different account you're likely to lose $450 in rewards (e.g. starpoints on an SPG card).

You mention you are on Round 3 with the Amex Plat card? When were Rounds 1 & 2?  When did you open and cancel (if cancelled) each card?  My wife got the card for the first time 3/10/11 (50K offer), getting ready to cancel, but wondering when she can expect to be accepted if she applies again.

Do you have another active Plat card? If yes, when did you get it? If not, when did you cancel your previous Plat?
