I tried today to get a 5k bump on the Mar 29 Plat approval before diving in on 6 other Amex cards.
Prompt (as always) SM response:

The offer is for 10,000 MR points. Hopefully my points go through!
I just enrolled my PRG card with the following message "Thank You. You are now enrolled in the Extended Payment Option for your Premier Rewards Gold Card - XXXXX. Please allow 24-48 hours for your enrollment to be processed."
I haven't received any email confirmation yet. Does anyone know if AmEx sends email confirmation for the enrollment? And how long does take for bonus MR points to post?
Anybody actually received this bonus yet? My plat card was approved, rec'd a letter in the mail last week welcoming me to the program, yet no MR have been posted.

Only one bonus offer per Membership Rewards account is permitted, and bonus points will be credited to your account within 6-8 weeks after enrollment. Maximum 10,000 points per account. Bonus ID: 7907 and 7775. Terms and Conditions for the Membership Rewards First® program apply. Visit membershiprewards.com/terms or call 1-800-297-1300 for more information. Participating partners and available rewards are subject to change without notice. Offer expires June 30, 2012. If your enrollment in the Extended Payment Option is approved after this date you will not be eligible for this bonus points offer.
The Membership Rewards First requirement means that the bonus applies only to Platinum and Centurion cardholders.
How recently? I submitted last week, and I thought some said they got the bonus quickly. I've already gotten the snail mail confirmation from them.
I haven't gotten the snail mail yet - but if I remember correctly it was about a week ago that I signed up. I received the e-mail offer from them on the 8th and applied either that day or a day or two later.
Edit to add: sorry for the ambiguity in my previous post. I meant to say that I submitted about a week ago the first time around.
Also, anyone know if this changes how the card is reported to credit bureaus? If you aren't required to "pay in full" every month is it still technically a "charge" card?
