This could mean that American Express will:

  1. Reject the application if the applicant has a history of opening/closing accounts for bonuses.
  2. Notify the applicant that there will be no bonus before the physical cards are delivered.
  3. Provide no notice of ineligibility, and withhold the bonus.

I would be okay with 1 or 2, but of course not 3.
