What a bizarre system. Some sort of one in took around 30 tries but eventually it popped up. It's strange to me that they are giving an extra $250 dollars out based solely on being the 1 in x number of visitors to the page. I'll have to try this out on the platinum card page and see what happens. Edit: after about 40 tries I gave up on getting a similar offer on the platinum card.
I'm thinking about getting this or one of the other charge cards at some point in the next year. Is this as high an offer as I can expect or should I hold out and see what else comes my way?

If your goal is just to get the highest sign-up bonus on any single card, the Platinum card can be found with 100K bonuses (though unlike the Gold cards, the first year annual fee isn't waived). Not sure if there is any way to wrangle such a bonus if you aren't already offered one, but I know a number of people with no pre-existing relationship with Amex who were offered that bonus in the mail out of the blue.

This may be answered elsewhere, but I could not find it. Forgive me if my search skills are in need...
I currently have the Platinum card with a significant number of points.
If I get the PRG, can I link up the two accounts in a way that the points are consolidated in one pooled account? Will the cards have the same account number (if that is possible to do, maybe after acquiring the PRG)?
Thanks

Speaking on bonuses, my statement is due to cycle on the 22nd, here's hoping the 50K bonus moves out of the "pending" category. Anyone else have luck?

Ooof, I feel like such an idiot. I just got this card and went on vacation with it, disregarding one very important fact!! This card has a foreign transaction fee unlike the Plat and my CSP. I spent enough money to meet minimum spend, but boy was I surprised when I logged in on-line and saw all the foreign transaction fee charges
