Sorry I can't find this answer in search...
If my spouse is my AU on this card (exact same card) is he eligible for the sign up bonus if he gets his own card?

5 different computers, 2 cellphones, 0 offers. Bummer.
Also, a VPN tied to a computer 2000 miles away.

You *are* using incognito, right? I got the offer to show up again from the OP link just now. Also, I got it to show up Saturday night and applied then, got the card today.
Also, I just got my PRG today. Besides choosing an airline and working on the $100 credit, are there any other manual steps I should take with my new PRG?

**UPDATE** AMEX sure has some advanced tracking systems...I used TOR and got it after three tries. Not sure why I did not just do that in the beginning. If it does not pop for you in 10-20 tries, use TOR and create new sessions! Do not pull a me and try for days on end, ha! GL

Indeed, attempted Incognito on Chrome, In-Private on I.E...I cannot believe this is still working for people.

Edit: TOR worked yet I was prompted with a message saying that I must call in to verify information. I'm guessing TOR tripped a fraud alert.

Nope, tried all of that. Three devices, incognito/private on four browsers. No dice. But spouse has five computers/devices that I've never used for apps so I'll try those next.

Beware, the 50K points does not convert to 500 USD. AMEX has a different point-to-cash value conversion rate than its competitors. When redeeming for statement credit, you get .60/1, whereas my other cards is 1/1 (100 points = $1).

Welcome to Flyertalk.
Inasmuch as this is a travel forum it would be unusual to convert points potentially worth $0.02 in airfare for $0.01 in cash, but you are correct that American Express's cash redemption options are unattractive.
