Since you used a link that requires minimum spend, you could presumably start on that spend with the Plat card if you wish. That certainly worked in the 25k + $100 credit days. I'm certain it work for the $1000 spend for the $100 credit, what I'm not certain of is whether the minimum spend for the Signature miles can be done while you only have the Platinum. That might something only BofA can answer?
You will not have a lot of time for the spend if you wait to get the Sig card before you start the spend, unless they restart the clock at that point, which I haven't heard, but then we haven't had minimum spend for the miles before now so I wouldn't expect to have heard yet.
Also, you cannot get upgraded to Sig without your agreement to a lot of T&Cs about that upgrade (including the increase of annual fee from $50 to $75). If you haven't sat through the agent reading those off and then you saying you agree at the end, I doubt you were upgraded to Sig yet. So don't sit back and wait for it, call BofA.
