This article from May suggests it's 2/90. I don't know this blogger to verify their information:
https://www.asksebby.com/blog/rules-...d-applications

I would not be hopeful they do the AF waiver either; you may want to wait until it comes back if you aren't in a rush for needing the SUB points. My experience in 2017 was that the phone team could not even match existing online offers or referrals, so an expired one seems unlikely.

You're right, the rule is 2/90 and not 2/60.
Thanks

Update: I called recon and they resubmitted my application. Strangely, they didn't ask me any questions on the phone nor were they able to approve me right away.
App status online now says pending review.

Wish me luck

I was approved for Business Gold 2 months back, now I get an email offer for Business Platinum with 150k bonus - should I apply - what are my chances? At worst I will get the pop up, right? Is there a chance I get approved and NOT get the bonus after meeting the spend? (BTW I have a legit business).

Those are credit cards - they are charge cards - the 4 or 5 limit doesn't apply there

Thanks, just checking if anyone got the business gold and business platinum bonuses within a 2 month time frame. Any data points would be most helpful.

Both the business gold and the business platinum are charge cards.

Yes understood they are charge cards, but any data points on Amex giving out sign up bonuses for both cards within a short time frame? The platinum business requires a $15k spend - I dont want to spend and not get the bonus.

You should qualify for both bonuses. You can confirm with the chat rep and be mindful of any pop-ups when you apply. Also, I don’t recommend spending more than you otherwise would to get a SUB.

Also, this is a thread about the Amex credit card per player limits. None of the cards mentioned count towards this limit (though there is a 10 charge card limit)

FWIW two weeks later, I got gold biz (bonus a month later) then got plat biz (two months after gold app) then that bonus a month later. So yes a DP of getting both bonuses in about 3 months time. Had had both cards before but no lifetime language on these offers.
