I'd check the Ts and Cs first before deciding what to do next. I applied for a basic card and got my 20k miles. I then applied for platinum card a month or so later and my application was successful. I have recently received a letter stating that I am eligible for the additional 20k miles but I won't take that as a given until they have posted to my DC account!
