Thanks for any reply

Sorry, I believe they state it is for first time cardholders only. I know you can open the buisness account if you have the personal one at the same time, but that is the only way I know you can double dip.
Perhaps if you held the classic a year ago and applied for the platinum now they'd give you the bonus as it was a different card? I'm not sure, but the T&C can be found
here .
Keep in mind, of course, these are bonus miles and not EQMs like other cards give out on sign up (US for one).
Hope this helps!
