Applied for 50k, went to pending. Is there any harm with Amex to calling in before it's decided? This is my third Amex card, but first time not auto-approved. Hoping to use it as a means of holding MR for a year since the Platinum isn't worth keeping any more.

I have an Amex Everyday credit card from which I got the 10k bonus on $1k spend. Yesterday I noticed that there was an offer of 50k bonus on the Premier gold rewards on $1k spend. I went ahead and applied and got approved. Do you think I will get the bonus on the gold card since I already collected on the everyday? Also, both cards are being managed in the same account - that's why I am a little wary! Anyone with a similar experience?

Got mine yesterday. I know that people generally say charge first, then revolver if you're going for a 2-for-1 HP, but I REALLY wanted the EDP and also wanted the PRG. I went for EDP first. Then went incognito for the PRG.
I was pleasantly surprised that they give you the card number and code to use right away. Very helpful when meeting spend on a few cards!
The site was all crazy last night (hopefully they were fixing the reimbursement gliches). Since this one was incognito, it wasn't automatically added to my online account and it wasn't taking my add to it. It locked my account. I had to call to get it added and unlocked. I have to say that even with as many successful incognito apps as I've read about with no problems, I was worried calling to add the card and get the account unlocked, but no problem!
16% of my way through my spend already.

Got the 50k after 1k spend offer on first try using a normal chrome window. Called to confirm that offer was linked to my account and the rep said yes. I'll write again when it posts.

My wife received this as a targeted offer the other day, and got her instant approved earlier this evening.

If this is a benefit that's grandfathered in wouldn't it be tied to specific card numbers? If this is the case for you call the number on the back of your card and see what they say and how long it will last.

Strange thing happened today. I applied for this offer (50K points after $1,000) online, but did not get an approval confirmation (got a blank page instead). Then I closed out the window, opened up a new one, and went to the online application and clicked on already a member (I have also have the SPG and Everyday cards) and the offer was for 25K points after $2,000. I did not proceed with this application. I later checked the application status to find out that I was approved for the card. I hope I'll still get the 50K offer, but I'm not sure now. Did this happen to anyone else ?

Currently I see this offer on CardMatch, and 60k for the Platinum. I want to apply for the PRG and, as other posters have said, I see this message on the application screen:
"If you are identified as a current or former American Express Card Member, this offer may not be available to you."
Is there any possibility that getting the 50k PRG bonus offer could preclude me from ever being offered 100k for Platinum? I realize the 100k for Platinum is not too frequent.
