I would try again. I have Amex Greencard (downgraded from Platinum/Gold), Delta Amex, Blue cash card, etc. and I was able to secure Amex Gold Rewards card.
Calling seems to result in rejections (I got turned down twice) so following one of the poster's suggestions, I signed up, then emailed Membership Rewards and politely asked for a bump in MR.
One of the reps approved additional MR points (and I have met my $1k spend - not coin or gift cards) so hopefully I will get them.
