Not convinced. I just called two of my friends who make the phone calls for many people. They both said that they were able to get the matching points earlier today. (100% for the gold).

Keep calling. Good luck.
I got a few matched earlier today. I've had rejection before but never had that they said just now without missing a beat saying that management has stopped these matches!

I called in tonight asking for code 6661, and after transferring me to Membership rewards they said I should call back tomorrow during business hours, because at night they just don't have the right people to do a promotion change .

So hopefully that previously reported stop of the bump was a isolated incident

Got 6661 matched via SM yesterday, and 5748 matched for the Plat over the phone today.

Plat MR Rep "Robert" gave me a hard time, saying "oh, which one is this again? This is new, but know that we know that there's these website that's telling people to call in for these bonus offers".

um...yeah, whatever Robert. Thanks for the goodwill gesture! :)

Anyone has any updates if the code matching is still working?

first post!
 i have been reading the forum religiously for the last couple of months and learnt alot, so thanks all for the free yet rewarding education (505k points/miles so far this summer!!)
   I got matched for the amex plat on monday morning for myself and since then i called seven times for amex plat for my wife with no luck, a few minutes ago i was told that if i call back 8 weeks after the 1000 spend i would get the 100k(even though the 25k has already posted)  this was notated on my account, so i guess plat matching is still on for the time being!

  on a side note, how reliable is such a notation? should i keep calling to try and get the points added immediatly?

Once it's notated you should be fine.  Well done!

Just got notated an PR gold account 5 minutes ago on the first try. So these all are dump rumors. Don't get hysterical.

Thanks!, my only concern in that case is that i will not be able to cancel before 60 days are done and will lose approx 112$, is there any reason why continuing to call repeatedly may cause me to lose the promised 75k such as csr notes or a rep who doesn't think i deserve it?

When you spend the money and pay it off they should be able to manually post it.

Although they recently got very tough on the 6-8 weeks, you could have success getting someone, or better chances thru SM (only after you have a note on the account).

Why will it cost you $112? for a gold card

it is but both gold and plat matching has been discussed here in recent posts, and yaakov s asked for updates on matching experiences.

Update: I called again and was manually given the additional 75k!
 
   In the meantime I noticed an very interesting pattern here; 3 times in the past 5 days i called to ask if points could be manually posted before the 6-8 week period had passed, each time i was told that it was not possible, each time i politely asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that a supervisor would not be able to help me either, all three times i insisted gently was put on hold for 7-10 minutes after which the same csr returned and told me that she suddenly realized (or some other made up excuse) that she could give it to immediately!!
  It seems as if the csr's are told to string you along for a while and if you are persistent enough to keep asking and stay on hold for 10 minutes, they should give it to you and not bother their supervisor!!
