Just got a 75k/$5k mailer from a someone else that I'm planning on using.
RSVP and zip pulls up the application just fine, but I don't see any language about the bonus on the application page. Pulling the full "Offer Terms" only lists the waived annual fee as an offer.
I'm very wary of this, since I'm applying for my wife and she's never held the card before. If there's a chance the bonus isn't attached to the offer, I might just go for the public 50k one...
Is this standard for RSVP offers?
Edit: decided just to apply. Instant approval and confirmed 75k offer via chat after approval.

I saw a link under my Amex Personal Plat card for the 75k BGR card. I couldn't find any language limiting the bonus and signed up. I have copied below the language on the app:

1 To be eligible to earn additional points, your application must be received by December 10, 2017 and you must charge $5,000 of qualifying purchases* during the first 3 months of membership on an eligible Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express OPEN. Qualifying purchases can be made by the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on a single Card Account. Limit one offer per Card Account. Offer may not be combined with any other special offer. If your application is not received by 12/10/2017, we will not process your application even if we later receive your application. American Express reserves the right to modify or revoke offer at any time. You can earn 75,000 additional points after you spend $5,000 or more in qualifying purchases on your Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership starting from the date your account is approved. In rare instances, your period to spend $5,000 may be shorter than 3 months if there is a delay in receiving your Card. Also, purchases may fall outside of the 3 month period in some cases, such as a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction. (For example, if you buy goods online, the purchase date may be the date the goods are shipped). The 75,000 additional points will be credited to your Membership Rewards account 6-8 weeks after you have met the purchase requirement.

75k MR sign up for BGR
Has anyone been able to get the 75k sign up offer for the Business Gold Rewards card recently? Unfortunately, for the last couple of years, my wife and I have stopped being targeted for AmEx sign up offers :-( I hear that some folks have used the incognito trick for higher sign ups, but that hasn't worked for us. Am 80k short for a family vacation next year and would welcome suggestions from the experts. TiA

I am in the same boat applied using a targeted mailer in September and got approved for the 75k bonus points and just last week got another mailer for the same. so I should be fine for applying for the same card again? and will get the bonus since there is no restrictive language in the app?. The app expires on 12/01/17. Is there any Amex restriction on the number of total business cards? I have an SPG business card and a BRG as of now.

They have added a new clause that says that if you close the card within 12 months they will claw back your bonus Reward points. so you can wait till the annual fee posts to your account and then cancel it within 30 days and you should get the full refund or use your Reward points right away on gift cards, miles etc but I would advise you not to do that.
