I have Plat, but not sure if I can apply for Gold as well and get the bonus?
Just another data point - I have a AMEX PRG and called to get a AMEX Plat in addition to my PRG. The upgrade bonus was only 15k points after 3k spend, but I was told that I can not upgrade and apply for a new AMEX Plat versus upgrading, then get the current 40k points for 3k spend. I did that two months ago and get 40k after hitting the spend. In your case, you have a Plat already, but situation should be similar. If you try and apply when logged into the AMEX website, it sometimes only shows an upgrade option. CS at AMEX advised to log off and delete cookies, then I saw the 40k/3k application page.
