I applied for the Amex premier gold card on July 11 through the website (which I think has a 15k point bonus advertised) and was instantly approved. Since I am a first time Amex customer I didn't have a login to send a SM to request the additional points. I got the card in the mail Thursday, SMed Friday referencing #5894 (which technically expired June 30 I think), and got this response Saturday:
Thank you for writing in.
We value your membership and I've noted your account to receive 75,000 bonus points after spending $500 in the first 3 months. Please write back to me 8 weeks after reaching the spending threshold and I'll be glad to issue the bonus points.
I hope I was able to get a smile on your face.
Have a great day and keep smiling!
It kind of sucks to have to wait so long for the points, but not so bad for an expired offer with a $500 threshold and no fee.
