Of course.
It's a different system
What do you mean? Why would they have two systems in place for generating and sending out offers?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I don't think these no language offers are typos. I don't know Amex's algorithm, but that system deemed you worth offering the bonus again too.
The cases are usually worthless, but if you're incredibly lucky, maybe you'll get it on the spot.
Many people that never had the card have received a no language offer...

I know of quite a few people that never had an Amex and got these no language offers.

I can't speak to the "different systems" and how some language and some no language rsvp's are generated but even just looking and an older thread where csr's have threatened users by "seeing what they are doing" and getting multiple bonuses within the same product even though some have confined using no language apps just shows that Amex is not so aware that these are floating around and it isn't meant on purpose.
Work hard, Play harder!

Take it from someone who worked for an issuer, they are aware of the terms in their mailers.

If anything, that's who most of these no language offers are sent to, IME. I'm just saying that they know exactly who they are sending the offer to, and what it says in it.

Does it make sense they changed the spending needed to 2k instead of 1k on Reg gold reward card? I just got two of them in the mail and they stated need 2k to get 50k?

Yes, a lot of 50/2 offers out there.

meaning is that a new thing with the personal card, bec till now I must have gotten over 15 Reg gold for 1k to get 50k, just never got around to it was always busy with another and now I recently started to get only 2k spend needed. It's a bad way to attract consumers by upping the threshold amount, so was asking to see if it was a new thing, but seems ur saying it's old....so thanks anyways

Even non churners can easily pull off the extra 1k in 3 months. As for churners, they aren't exactly their target audience.

If you want to know if the 50k/1k  offer is still available online, it is. You can even give Dan a commission when applying through his link, if you want to do a mitzvah.
By the way, I'm just curious; what's your native language?

so why would someone apply to an offer sent to his house (spend 2k/50k) if these are offers open to the public ,assuming that amex is putting out the offer!
