No. The AMEX system simply sees the charge and applies the credit.

applied for both PRG and Plat and got approved for both. Didn't want to risk not receiving the bonus, so cancelled the PRG on day of approval.
I applied and was approved for the MB Plat in mid December.
Plat: $3,000 spending posted early AM 1/14 and 100K points posted ("earned" status" when I just checked (1/15 12:20AM EST) the points weren't there when i checked around 9PM.

However if you have a good standing at AMEX and have a good amount of $$$ running through their cards they will be nice to you. I have been able to churn AMEX cards in 6 month or less

Has been pending for a few days now, but I am not worried. These should clear within a day or two. From what I have read so far, the extra 4k from the spending will post only after the statement closes.

If someone signed up for a plat card through this link, can they sign up for a gold elsewhere and get the bonus too, or no?

Did any present PRG holders attain the Platinum bonus?

I have seen a few that were waiting for their transactions to post. I had the PRG active when I applied for this Platinum, but closed it after I received my new card (not that this would really qualify me for the 100K offer).
I completed the spend Monday morning, but my Sunday and Monday transactions are still pending. Should know in about 2 days if I get the 100K pts, but others are probably ahead of me.
