Before applying, I called Amex and they said they only could see Gold in my card history. So I applied for Plat again earlier this month, with trepidation that I will nevertheless get the "ineligible for welcome bonus" popup. As it turned out, I didn't get that ineligibility message. Will know too in a few weeks if the bonus shows up.

PS: in your case, I guess you'll know very soon if the bonus showed up, so please update it here.

I didn't quite hit the $5k in my first month, so it'll be another few weeks before I know. I'll try to remember to post back.
