We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility." Is the Gold card considered a "previous version of this card"?
Gold and Plat are considered different cards. You are eligible for the Plat bonus so long as you have not previously held the Plat card (even if you previously had one, you may be eligible again if you canceled it more than 7 years ago since their systems only look back that far)
