See this thread, in particular the Wikipost at the top:

There is no best card. You must find the product which is the best value for your circumstances.

Got the 50000 Application page but not the points
History, I had a card with a similar offer that I cancelled back June 11, 2012 (nice agent 'Allen' on the chat informed me). After 6 tries on an IE browser I got the 50000 application and was approved on April 23rd(^) Yea!!! Spent the $1,000 on the card and waited patiently. On June 20th, the points that I spend showed up in the account so I went to chat about the 50,000 points. Message from the agent :
Thank you for your patience.
Allen
I have checked the details and I see your card is not eligible for the bonus rewards as it attritor with the Same Product.
Allen
Bonus offer is only for those card members who have applied for the card first time and new to American Express. I see you had same card with us in past and you closed it on 06/11/2012.
Perhaps I was missed it by a few months, or maybe it wouldn't have mattered. Computers do have a long memory. I will transfer what little points I have to an airline program and close the account.
I was looking at the 40,000 rewards with $200 airline credit link, but not so sure I want to try again.
Perhaps the Universe knew ahead of the coming disappointment as I am waiting on a TD Bank application. I also got an unexpected application from Capital One for their Venture card with 50,000 bonus miles 2x unlimited miles with a $3,000 spend in 90 days. $0 intro annual fee than $59 there after. I think I will go for the invitation

The 50K offer just popped up for me, after a couple of private browsing attempts. We'll see if it goes through.
Update: Instantly approved, saved screenshots of the signup page just in case. I was also able to select an airline for the fee credit.

I just got instant approved for this offer and just got my card. I called in to verify the offer and the rep said I had to spend $5k. I thought it was $1k? I took a screenshot of the offer just in case. Was the rep wrong? He did see that I would get 50k points though.

Screenshots and recordings are your friends when dealing with Amex. They WILL shaft you if you let them. It's unfortunate, but that's what happens these days.
I hope that the 50K bonus posts after 1K of spend, and I hope that an annual fee charge doesn't pop up, but I expect to have to fight them on both counts.

On the bright side, my 50k posted as soon as I hit $1k in spend, despite $100 of it being reimbursed (within a few days) as part of the airline fee credit.
I plan on following up on the annual fee issue since I don't feel like holding on to the screenshot for a year.

The agent was probably just wrong on that part. Even the 25K public offer includes a 1st year waived AF.

Just received my Amex PRG for the 50k signup bonus. After reading this thread I went ahead and tried a $50 GC from AA on 6/12/15. Transaction showed up as : AA MISC SALE/ TAX/ FDALLAS TX. I was credited the $50 on 6/14/15.
Went ahead and put in my second GC order yesterday.

I'm seeing the 50 offer but when I'm logged into AMEX it's showing only 25k, and it's saying if you're an American Express card holder already you won't get this bonus.
I just have one AMEX card, which is the Blue Cash Everyday (cash back). Will I still get the bonus?
