"1. - 5,000 MQMs (and 15,000 bonus miles) with your first purchase on the Card.
2. - 20,000 MQMs (including 20,000 bonus miles) each year your eligible spend on the Card is $50,000.


Now here is how the coding is working for personal Gold, Platinum and Reserve cards I could find:

The csi=24/34831/b/ and 3 numbers are for Gold offers and do not correspond to the pid= 3-digit number in the splash ad.
305 is another Gold, along with 267 and 285.
Gold cards are $95/annual fee with first year waived generally.
------------
For Platinum (a $150 annual fee - not waived) I found you use csi=36/20/b/ and 3 numbers.
The following work
https://www201.americanexpress.com/c...si=36/20/b/317
where 317= 40K bonus incl 15K MQM and 2 SkyClub passes

Others:
238 = 50K with 5K MQM incl, etc.
314 = 35K with 5K MQM incl, etc.
312 = 20K with 5K MQM incl., etc.
240 = 35K with 5K MQM incl., etc.
280, 281, 282 do not resolve but a form comes up, and appear to be 25K with 5 MQM - I wouldn't risk it.
*** Theoretically from the "dead" link, "311" SHOULD be the 50K with 25K MQM. I'd lean to going for that...if it worked.

Other Platinum:
Use csi=18233/b and 2-3 numbers:
64 = 20K no MQM
(and the others like 317 work here too.

=================
Reserve: $450 fee: where csi=37/35177/b and then 2-3 numbers:
40K with 20K MQM included:

I did the online application moments ago for the 40K miles of which 15K could count as MQMs. The first Internet connection would not process the claim so I called AMEX and was told to try again online as they could not do that specific promo over the phone. A different Internet connection got the application to go through and the message after 60 seconds was they would notify me in 14 days by regular mail.

I have a basic Delta Skymiles AMEX (also a Pl Corporate card) that I asked to upgrade to Pl in order to get at least 5K MQMs with the first purchase. I saw this as a banner ad here on FT. But after seeing this thread, I tried to get AEX to switch me to the new promotion. They said I would need to cancel my existing card and apply for a new one.

After all the comments here, I am unsure about how this will work out but I do need 5K MQMs by the end of the year (to reach 100K MQMs) so does it sound like I will be okay with this new application or should I just take what I already have?
