Regarding the online offer for 40,000 (or matched to 60,000) miles with $250 statement credit for AA Personal Platinum that people have mentioned, I can't figure out if I am eligible. I currently have an AA Platinum card that was opened > 24 months ago. Can I apply for and receive a second AA card of the exact same type under my name? (I wouldn't want to cancel the first card until I've applied for the second to not mess up the bonus if I'm understanding things correctly)

And would I be ineligible for the 250 dollar credit since it states "new credit cardmembers"?

Sorry if these are simple questions; I'm just confused on some of the terms....
