RIGHT-clicked (Open link in Incognito Window) the link in post #1 several times this morning, until 50,000 point offer appeared. Applied. Instantaneous approval.

Time for my first flyertalk post as well 
I ran into the same "We apologize that the offer you are looking for may no longer be available." message and very nearly gave up on this. I found that by clicking around the site to view the card benefits, the apply button moves to the top of the screen and finally works ^.

Hi,
Is there any way to get the points to post before the BA +40% offer is over (1/31/2015)?
Probably not but maybe someone knows a trick?

MR account
Sorry for being dense, but having applied for that card without logging in, I'm stuck with a brand new amex web account and no MR enrollment of the new card. Do you set up a new MR account or is it safe to associate the new card with the existing web/MR account?
(The new web account says "member since 99," so it's not like they don't know that I was an existing customer, but if the purpose was to land 50K points and the offer said existing customers didn't qualify, I'm hesitant to give them too many clues ...)
Thanks.

American Express knows exactly who you are, the other cards you have now, and the cards you have had in the past. Applying Incognito/Private merely defeats some sort of primitive automated filter.

Prior to the Everyday cards, this was the best earning structure of the full-MR earning cards (that make MR transferable). So I imagine many pay the fee, particularly those who spend a lot on airfare. Also, it used to have a 15K MR bonus for spending $30K in a calendar year. With the removal of that perk and the roll out of the Everyday and Everyday Preferred, I agree that the use case isn't there for most people anymore.

I just applied and got accepted without a phone call. Which is a bit surprising, as I have about $5,000 currently owed on cards. I do have great credit otherwise.
As to the offer, I just went to the page, saw 25k. Refreshed, saw 50k. The first time I tried I got those errors you guys spoke of, but then I just hit "Back" and clicked again a few times until it went through. It confirmed the award amount on the left side as I filled out the application.
As I mentioned above, I do have the Business Gold card, so here's hoping the bonus applies!

Like someone said earlier, different cards. So you will get the bonus.

Thanks OP! Been waiting a long time for this card.
I did the incognito, popped up after 2 tries. I got the same error message as noted above, but when I scrolled down and hit apply at the bottom of the page, the app popped up properly.
One thing not really mentioned in the thread as this link has first year fee waived as well.
