Nice!
Just did it and got 50k added without any spend. I did it on the gold card which I got last summer (the 15k which turned out to be 30k).

Thanks myb821 I got (I think) the 50K for me and my wife.

I first secure messaged them about my account. I then had some free time on my hands so I called Membership Rewards , the CSR put me on hold for a few minutes and came back to say the points are there. I then asked could you do the same for my wife(my wife hadn't even had any points posted at all not from the Plat nor the Gold she just signed up for, she had met the spending threshold already however) . She said sure put her on , 5 minutes later done including the 50K bonus form the Platinum card. I asked for a confirmation email. She said we don't have that but its on your account , log in and its there. I hung up logged in and my wife's posted mine didn't. I called back and the next CSR reassured that its there it might take a few hours for me to see it on my computer . Will check after Shabbos and will post an update.

I just hope that when they get around to answering my secure message it doesn't mess things up by confusing them.

update: just checked again and my miles are there

Interesting thing I noticed on my Membership Rewards account , was wondering if anyone else had the same experience . The 50K bonus that they just posted to my account shows up under my Platinum card . There is a PRG 25k with 1K spend by the dropdown under my Gold. Then there is a  PRG 50K after $500 spend showing under the drop down by my Platinum.

Thanks to the OP as I did this and 50k showed up in wife's account a few hours later! I canceled mine a few months ago and now I am wondering if I should give it another try to get 75k but there is no public link yet for this offer. If it comes up pls someone post:-) I am beginning to really like the mr program:-)

If people are interested you can apply for the Premier Rewards Gold for the DD raffle here:
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/13846

It's only advertised as 15K, but seemingly if they're willing to match the 75K offer it shouldn't make a difference which offer you apply with...plus you'll have an amazing shot at an iPad 2 or 32GB iPod Touch.

Added bonus: The first forum member to apply for the premier rewards gold card through the promo link, get approved, get an answer from AMEX about the 75K offer, and posts about it here will get 2 CO Presidents Club/UA Red Carpet Club passes that have no expiration date.
Anyone interested in trying this?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I am a little confused, someone please help me. If I have a business Gold card, and a Reg Plat card (both opened in dec with 50k bonus each), can I email them with this request?

I would like to , however I need some advice.

I have a Gold card now , I just canceled my Platinum in order to do round 2 , I have 2 questions

A) should I cancel my Gold before I apply for another one or it doesn't make a difference ( the reason not to would be that in a worst case scenario I would be left without any cards to redeem my Membership Rewards )

B) should I do the 2 cards from 2 browsers , or is that welcoming a F/R. Coming after a cancellation etc.

Thanks for your input

My wife just got approved for the 50K extra bonus (after spend) for both of her Gold cards from last year.
No I have to try with cards #2 and #3 of mine...
