Interesting, the wife successfully got 5748 (specifically requested it on her 'Platinum card' to the rep), but later I saw the rep apparently
put all the points on her Premier Gold card instead (which had already got 75k from before).

Jul 10, 2011    Earned : Premier Rewards Gold Card    75,000 < after calling in to get 5748 Platinum bonus
Jul 8, 2011    Earned : Platinum Card 25,000 < Regular Plat offer $1000 spend
Jun 5, 2011    Earned : Premier Rewards Gold Card    75,000 < after calling in to get Gold bonus

Call them and ask where your points are. They may give you another 75k if they don't notice the mistake.

It's no mistake, they did the same thing for me.

go back to your points statement and hover the mouse over the words "Earned : Premier Rewards Gold Card " and it will tell you which card you were really credited the points for.

Thanks for the tip - it did say 'Plat $1k spend' or something like that

Also it is flat out dishonest to try and get free points like that when you were already awarded the bonus points successfully.

Have a friend who is applied for the Plat and Gold card simultaneously - cards are on the way.

What do you guys think?

Call and try to get one rep to apply both promo codes?

or

Call twice?

Just got another confirmation for someone who applied just last week for the Consumer Plat and was approved for the 100k bump.

shidduch · « **Reply #929 on:** July 17, 2011, 02:52:38 PM »

my friend got 100k bump today but a bunch of others were told to hurry up and wait. it seems you have to be persistent and get lucky with the rep

100k match still works with ease.
2 for 2 calling today for me and the missus.

Well, at least one way would be one for the Mister and one for the Missus.

Has anyone here matched the Business Plat 100k using promo code 5999 which is spend 5k by Oct 11th?

I haven't seen anyone matching or signing up for the Business Plat yet.

another 2? What are you, the executive secretary for a conglomerate of high-powered drug dealers with a penchant for signing up AMEX plats?

How long ago did you have your last Plat Smokey Joe?

Drug dealers don't use CCs, cash only.

AsherO, this is the 21st century. Drug dealers have embraced credit cards, along with iphones, internet in the sky, and long distance calling.

It legitimates their clean side-businesses. Like murder for hire.

So just call them entrepreneurs, why are you instead calling them drug dealers?
