I was in the same situation as both of you [edited to add WantsAmex and ntwrkguy for clarity since mia consolidated numerous threads.] I called amex to ask about the bonus and told them that i had a plat card in the past. they told me that since it was a targeted offer that i would indeed get the bonus. so i signed up for the card again and i did get the bonus. 25k MR points after hitting $1k and another 25k MR points when i hit $3k. the only thing was that i had to call to get them to post the second 25k MR points. but it was a short call, no argument, and the points posted a day or two after. so all is well.
