Requirement is to spend $5,000 within 3 months.

I went through the terms and there doesn't appear to be any once per lifetime language or once per 12 months.

Why would AMEX present me with this offer so soon after cleaning them out for 100k, $200 airline credit, and cancelling quick enough to get my Annual Free refunded?
Because their offer system isn't that smart?

75k for BizPlat is a bad deal anyway considering the public 100k offer and the readily mailed 150k offer.
