No this is brand new sign up bonus as $2000 spend in 3 month for 40000 point, and it only show 32,000 point.

The CX card is way weaker for ongoing spend than other cards, unless you can’t get a card that gives a multiplier for everyday or dining spend (spoiler: you probably can), and your everyday spend is primarily not denominated in USD. 1.5 AM for dining isn’t great (AMEX MR beats that for Green/Gold, xfer to AM), there are ways to get AMEX MR cards at 1.5x/2x for everyday spend too (Blue Business Plus, AMEX Everyday Preferred). Citi ThankYou or Capital One Venture are similar- you can transfer to other programs and get at least the same kind of ongoing spend multiple or better.
My actual statement pdf says 40k, bonus but the front page of the website for my account says 30k. I’ll call in and wave the actual statement at them if it doesn’t post as 40k. Nothing has posted to AM yet.
I also got an AMEX Green so now the CX card is REALLY getting sock drawered.
I had not receive the paper statement yet, so I do not know what is the amount of point on it, and yes on my only account also show the incorrect bonus as 32k just like you. If you call let me know what did they say? I will also give them a call when I get my statement in the mail.
