I paid my bill in full, that's why the 25k posted so fast I believe.
No, the 25K post about 3 days after you reach the 1K spend, theyre probably pending....Either way call back and say you have a notation that as soon as you spend and see 25K pend/post that you are to receive 75K. Be nice but firm, make it look like you know what your doing. You many want to ask for a supervisor if he/shes nice but doesnt know what he/shes doing. If he/she is mean or moody, get off the phone or they might note some other garbage thatll hinder your efforts. Mention you paid your bill and your account is in good standing.

They aren't pending, they posted to my MR point total, I can spend them now if I wanted to. Maybe I need to wait until after the closing date for this pay period on my card before they can post the 75k manually?

If your statement with the 1K spend closed and you paid it, and you have a notation and the 25K posted, I demand you call in and demand your 75K. No reason to wait.

I called on Monday and asked to be matched, they said ok, call us after the 25k from the initial offer posts, and we will manually add the other 75k.

My 25k posted yesterday and I just called this morning and she said she can't add the other 75k until the middle of July? What the hell?
I sent 4 emails and spoke to maybe 6 reps until one rep said that when he try's to add the points he is getting a system error, I asked him to note the account and called back a couple days later

They said to call back after June 20th, that's the closing date on my account.

How do you go about getting the 100k bonus?  Do you apply for the amex plat with the normal 25k bonus and call them up for the extra?  or is there a number you can call with the Bonus ID 5748?

Just received word from the membership department that Bonus ID 5748 will expire July 11/11.

I have looked at the AMEX site but do not see any mention of a mileage bonus or anywhere on the application to enter the Bonus ID - what am I missing?

Just apply for the 25k application and then (once approved) call/SM (Secure Message on Amex.com) to get it matched. YMMV as this is officially a targeted offer, enough tries and you will probably get it.

Your question was answered/discussed dozens of times in this thread (and the other Amex matching threads), keep browsing and you'll be up to speed in no time.

Has anyone recently had luck getting the starwood card to match last years offer of 30,000 without actually spending the 15k as this years offer requires?

did you enroll? If you forgot, you can ask them to give you the credit anyway. (and than - perhaps - enroll, and let the computer give you another $200 ;D)

OK, I applied and got approved.  Anything I can do before I receive the card to insure I get the bonus?

Call them and ask them to note your account, so after you spend the 1k you'll have no problem getting the bonus.

Since my account is notated saying that I'm eligible for the 100k, can I just send an SM now to get it posted?
