Amex reluctant to post new bonus IDs

I applied for the personal Gold & biz Gold card last week. After activating the cards...

It took 2 secured messages and 3 phone calls to get a new signup bonus id finally applied to the personal card.

After 2 phone calls and 1 SM on the Biz card i am still out of luck. Will try again tomorrow on the phone.

I've never had trouble with AMEX getting new bonus codes applied to my accounts in the past. Their reps must have been told to not be so loose with applying bonus codes from now on. Each rep i speak with says they have been getting flooded with calls lately to have them apply new codes...so hopefully this is just a temporary thing. They are cracking down!
