i opened now my second card. got them to put a note on the account right away with the bonus ID. now after spending $1000, I see that I got immediately 50,000 points available (before the first statement closed). I am wondering what should this mean? will I still have chances getting the additional 50,000? I remember one of the previous reports that somebody had a similar story, and ended up without the additional 50,000.

I'll be honest I don't know much but I would assume you should finish up with your FR first before you start applying for more amex cards.
Huh! who said anything about an FR

Call the MR department and try to get 'em posted manually.

Definitely.
Noted the account in first place. then SM'd to expedite. first man didn't see anything, so instead gave me a 50,000 code, thats an additional 25,000. later when it posted, i SM'd again, and they didn't notice that this additional 25,000 was for this sign up, so they gave me the full 75,000.

If you're waiting for more MR points with another card (like I was matching for both PRG and Plat), check your MR statement (hover over the points) to make sure that your points are coded correctly. My Plat points were coded for PRG, so I had to fight to get my PRG points settled correctly.

actually, need help here regarding my 7/28 post!

I've called MR a few times today to get the points applied now that the $1k spend was reached and 4 diff CS ppl aresaying i dont qualify since i cancelled a diff PLAT card before this one.

Seems like this has been noted in my acct by someone.

I know YMMV, but does anyone know a good workaround here? Will an SM get the same response since it's on the account with this info?

Basically they are saying 5748 only applies to "new" cardholders and since I cancelled an earlier one, I dont qualify for this 2nd card.

HELP!!!!

IMHO, if there is a note on your account that you should not get this promo, it won't make a difference if you call or SM, the result will likely be the same as both reps see the same notes...

I had a similar situation where I didn't receive bonus points for a PRG card as I still had one open when I applied for the second and they noted my account saying that I wasn't eligible.  You can PM Y. Dinovitzer who has a friend that was able to get me the points...

I had the same exact issue with my PRG, they didn't want to give me the additional 60,000 because I got the platinum already. and they noted the account, so nobody was willing to give me that. right now, after 4 months, that my account got notated with tens of different notes I called and tried again, and walla, they weren't able to search thru all notes, so they just issued this manually. So, it might help waiting a few months.

Ask to speak to a supervisor and say how you feel like you missed the boat by signing up to early...

Just called in to Amex MR Customer service today at 1800 297 1300

I had already been given 50,000 MR points for Amex plat sign-up 1 month ago.

Was able to ask for code 5748 and will get my additional 50,000 points in about 6-8 weeks.

Btw, the CS rep told me that code 5748 will be valid until 1/31/2012
