As a data point , this happened to my wife when she applied and got approved for a targeted offer for the United Explorer card in the mail. Didnt get the sign up bonus of 50K as she already got it once before about 13 months back.
That's simply not true. The truth is, sometimes you get the second bonus, and other times you don't. Why it happens (or doesn't happen for you) is everyone's guess.
