I actually did receive the 40.000 MR Platinum sign-up bonus last year, I simply called and stated I had completed the spending requirement, so the agent raised a ticket with the back office team. Some days later, I received the points. Now, whether or not I was actually eligible for this, given that my application came via Global Card Transfer is another story...

I had no credit history in Spain, so Global Card Transfer was my only option to get a Platinum card (or any card, for that matter).
