Despite the seven year generalization, if you applied online using a public offer, and did not see a Popup cautioning that you are ineligible for the bonus, I would contact American Express customer service and ask them to "remind" you of the terms of your bonus offer. Do not lead them, make them tell you the number of points, the required spend, and the specific date by which you must make the spend. If they verify that there is a bonus, be careful to avoid any refunded transactions during the bonus period, and do not meet the threshold by purchasing gift cards. These precautions will minimize the chance of an audit, which could look at every aspect of your relationship.
