It wasn't on the profile page she was looking at but that since I was a tenured customer it was somewhere else in their system.
I confirmed the spend requirement and said good bye.
I know it's not a guarantee that I'll get it but at least there is a possibility. At the least I'll get the airline credit and the Global entry credit and then cancel quickly to get a prorated annual fee refund if the points don't post.

If no bonus, I probably will keep it for around 8 months (don't want to cancel it too soon) and then cancel to get back 1/3 prorated AF. At least I can net $100+ from it: $400 credit + future amex offers + $150 AF - $450 AF.
Here's my experience as a datapoint over the past few days. I received both the 100K Platinum card and 50K PRG Gold on Saturday, but didn't activate it today due to life getting in the way.
Called to activate PRG, directed call to Activation CSR. He activated it for me, and when I inquired about the bonus terms, transferred me over to the Customer Service department where the CSR there kindly told me that I would be eligible for the 50K. (I have never held any MR Gold card, ever, so I don't expect any issues with getting the points.) I thanked her and hung up.
Next, I called again to activate the Platinum, and directed the call to another CSR. He activated it for me, and I inquired about the bonus terms, he told me that I was eligible for 100K MR after 3K spend in 3 months.
So maybe there's hope for those of us trying the 100K offer after a 25K Ameriprise.
