The fine print of offer ID 5889 does say something about recent graduates of a business school? (did not listen carefully enough to the agent).

Please advise us, those of you who are approved.

Thanks

T&Cs state offer not available to existing consumer American Express Charge Cardmembers. Does this exclue anyone with a current charge card, such as the Platinum we've all jumped on? Anyone got approved yet? Two years of waved annual fee is VERY tempting.

For those, who prefer material gifts instead of 50K MR points:

get Bose(R) SoundDock(R) Series 2 Digital Music System:

Is is a better deal than 50K MR?

Nope, only cash would be better. $50K of course.

Very tempting indeed. Confirmations please! I would jump on this in an instant for the 2 years free.

Thanks OP! Applied online and got instant approval (no previous AMEX cards). Card should be at my house in 7-10 days, I'll confirm the 50k offer then, I took screenshots and printouts.

Wow. To think I was excited to get this card last year with 25k, $1k spend and 1 free year. This card is literally twice as good.

I applied online last night & was instantly approved.

Although I have a couple of Amex credit cards (incl Starwood), I have no charge cards since I cancelled a previous Premier Rewards card early this year. For that card, issued in late 2009, I only got a 15K signup bonus; even if Amex won't allow the full churn, but rather only the amount above the prior bonus, I'll still be miles ahead. Too bad the DW's card from last year (25K signup) is still open, disqualifying her from this latest offer.
