I figure I can just float whatever spending deficiet I end up having by buying grocery and department store gift cards.

Good times.
got my card yesterday. mine is $15k spending in 3 month for 150k points. The CSR who helped me activating the card asked detailed questions about my business (I was feeling a little uncomfortable) and basically was trying to convince me to use this card for EVERYTHING. Then she said oh you have a really nice bonus, no wonder you decided to sign up

I'm interested in applying for this very promotion (150k for 15k spend/3 months).

Any recommendations on which number to call to apply, and who to ask/how to phrase the questions (that is, obtaining this same offer)?

Thanks!

I didn't ask for the offer over the phone. Have a mailed RSVP code, applied and approved. The phone conversation was when I was activating my new card.

Called the number 1-800-971-6736 posted by fevercity and the amex rep asked if i received an RSVP code via mail. I told her that I did not but I did receive an email offer for the Gold card. I told her that I was interested in the Platinum instead and she offered 100k MR for 10k spend in 3 mos. Quickly applied and approved!

Just got approved of a biz platinum. Now have a biz gold offer of $2k spending get 75k points, first year AF waived offer... Read the T&C and didn't see any wording regarding currently biz platinum holders not being eligible for the bonus. If I apply for the gold, will I get the points? anyone with similar experience?

I think it works. Did the same path for my wife, and the 225k plus points for charges are pending.

Where can I find the biz gold 75k offer with $2k spend? Am I ineligible if I already have a platinum personal?

Thanks
