I recently got this card with the 50k/$1k offer. Started spending on 4/12 and statement closed yesterday. None of my spend are showing in MR. None of the spending was MS. I barely missed hitting the 1k spend requirement, but I was hoping to at least see some of the points show up in MR.
I spoke to a rep through Chat, and he/she said points could take up to two months to show up in MR. I have an old Optima Plat and I know that's not true. I just let it go since he/she may be your regular clueless rep. I'll keep an eye on it.

AMEX is good that if you swipe your card, it will show up as pending pretty much instantly
I had my card delivered to my home but they didn't use the correct address to send my statements!
Did you add your new card to your a/c? Something is a miss here.

Hi, sciconf.
I don't know what "a/c" is. I don't remember having to do anything to specifically add my PRG to MR. My PRG basically shows up with my other two personal cards - old Optima Plat and SPG - in the same login in the AmEx site.
When I got to my PRG account, my MR points total is shown. When I follow the links to the MR site, under Your Card, it shows both the Optima and the PRG. However, no points showing as being earned from the PRG. Not even pending.
Update: I just called AmEx, and I got the same spill - points will not show up until after next statement. ...!? I asked him to check my set up to see if everything is ok. He just repeated the points will not show until next statement... I was actually beginning to like this card. I guess I'll go back to using Chase cards for now.

When u get your card, you need to add it to your online account - did u do it properly? AMEX will take care of the rest.
Does your spend shows up on PRG? THat is good enough. Wait for the points.

MS - Manufactured Spending.
Yes, the PRG (AmEx Premier Rewards Gold) shows up on my online account. When I go into the MR site, under "Your Cards", the PRG shows up with the Optima. Both earn MR points. But I believe PRG earns the "real" MR points.

Does your spend shows up on PRG? Then nothing to worry - just wait

I just took out this card for my husband and I. Is this a charge or credit card? I should take the other one out today from what I've read. Suggestions on best one to do? I dont want to pay an annual fee. TIA

Just applied and got it. didn't work in chrome. Tried in safari. got it first time and went all the way through. easy peasy.
This will be my first amex personal card. have a few biz cards.
If im understanding the rules correctly, they could refuse any points offers on any card if you already have an amex account? This is in addition to the no churning the SAME card rule right?
I think i have this wrong, I hope i do.... Still plan to add an amex plat, spg personal, and some others when the timing is right. The way I read the disclaimer, having this would exempt me from using other offers on different amex cards in the future?

My bonus points posted a few days after hitting the $1k spend and a few days before the statement closed. I have never had the PRG card before but have other Amex cards (SPG and Plat).

I had the American Express Premier Rewards Gold card in early 2013. I received 50k points for 1k spend in 3 months with that offer.
I was just approved for an American Express Premier Gold card with the same sign up bonus.
Will I actually receive these points, or will I make the minimum spend for nothing?
I read somewhere that the "1 signup bonus per personal card per lifetime" rule applies beginning June 1, 2015.
