Not the min spend bonus although there have been a few scattered reports that people say their min spend bonus did go to pending. I've never experienced that, always gone right to available.

i think it depends on whether it's your first amex card or not. i've had a blue card for 10 years, so when i started churning, i got all my bonuses right away. my wife applied for a PRG last spring and saw her sign-up bonus points go to pending first.
also, RE: the 75k bonus for the business rewards gold: i got the 75k/$5k offer online (through incognito mode) in july of last year. i was targeted for 50k and found info on how to get the 75k offer here when i was looking for info on whether 50k was a good bonus.

Data point: opening up the PRG page in Chrome incognito has given me a more or less even assortment of 25k/$2000, 50k/$3000, and 50k/$1000 offers. I was targeted for the latter on CardMatch last month but it hasn't shown up since, so I was worried I'd missed out - anyway, applied and approved! 
Especially happy about not having to complete yet another $3000 minimum spend.

I received the 50k/$1k spend PRG offer in the mail with an RSVP code. I've had the PRG in the past, but I looked over the paperwork and couldn't find any language about previous cardholders being ineligible. I filled out the application online using the RSVP code and did not receive any warning about being ineligible, nor was there any language to that effect in the online terms and conditions. Is it possible I can actually get the signup bonus again?

ok how the hell do you get targeted offer from amex? I've had amex card for years and the only thing I ever get from them is bills. I get offers from other banks all the time. the cardmatch or whatever site never has amex offers for me.
and that inc. mode trick never works for me. i could try it 100 times.

That's probably a clue as to why you aren't getting targeted offers. I've had an Amex for 9 years and never once received a targeted offer. As always, YMMV...

Question, after having the card for 1 year, I could hypothetically use the $100 airline credit and then cancel within a week or so (once the credit posts)?
Although I would probably attempt to keep the card if they gave me a decent retention offer - but I just wanted to keep all my options open.

I received a 25k PRG offer through the mail in a beautiful, large black envelope, but isn't this just the standard offer? It says to apply by Jan 31st with RSVP code. SMDH

Have you looked at this thread at all? the title even?
