Any existing PRG card holder got the 100k for Amex plat signup?

I received the targeted offer after having had the business gold card for about one month. I took the offer.

Just wanted to verify but I'm assuming that like most other cards (Chase/US Bank) the annual fee does NOT count towards the minimum spend. Is this correct for the $450 fee on the platinum?

From almost everyone else this has been the case, I was only at 3200 spend though when my points went to pending for some reason (Counting the $450 fee).
On another note, I just got a mailer for a Business Platinum card with an offer for 100k after 5,000 in 6 months! Annoying to do two 450 annual fees in a 3 month period but with all the bene's it's worth it!

is there any way to request AMEX to mail you offers or to get on their radar? I have around a 750 credit score and I get nothing from any CC company

Do you have any cards from them? I never got any offers until I applied for a PRG but was denied, now I've gotten offers for 100k personal and now business.

what do you think of this?
Income: 60k
Age: 21
Score: 750-760 (used credit karma)
1 credit card, <1 year credit history.
I plan to apply for AMEX Platinum (the Mercedes version). Pay the $475 fee, use the card for a year. Get the 50k reward points. Then when a better deal comes out for AMEX GOLD PR, I will apply for that as well, get the bonus. Then I will cancel my AMEX Plat before the next annual fee is due. By then I will have used the $200 airline fee credit or whatever, and combine the MR points with the AMEX Gold offer. Will this work? How will it affect my credit

I just used myFico and it says my score is 740. Do you think my strategy will work/is good?
