Welcome to Flyertalk. All American Express public offers currently have this restriction. Some targeted offers have the same restriction, some do not. This offer has the restriction, see the first post in this thread.

Thanks! I guess no use to look for a RSVP code.

It does have the exclusion for previous cardholders. I am not . My wife did one of the 150k point ones last month.[/QUOTE]

Where is the sentence on this exclusion (restrictive language) in the letter?

250k MR bonus?

Wifey just got a Platinum Amex offer with 50k bonus after $5k spend, then 50k additional bonus for each individual purchase over $5k, up to a total maximum of 250k. We had just applied for Gold Business Amex as well as Gold Delta Amex so didn't respond, but now I kind of wish we had...

That is strange. I received the same offer but with my name on the offer and I cannot find the restriction at all. Unless I am not looking in the right place.

Not strange at all. Amex has been sending out the 250k offer without restrictive language, I have one.

If only they'd stop sending me the ones WITH restrictive langaie though

To confirm, is the $5000 for 20,000 points inclusive of the points you'd get for the spend (i.e. is this a 1 + 3 offer) or is it 20000 pts in addition to the pts you'd get from making the purchase?

This offer today would really be 332,500 total MR points if you are able to make 11 $5k transactions if you get the 1.5x on each $5k purchase.

It was a great offer and one I took advantage of, but I'm pretty sure it has been dead for months now? As in, all of the offers that were mailed out have since expired. Hope they bring it back at some point.

Wow, this was a deal. Isn't there a 50% bonus (1.5% MR back) on large purchases for AmEx plat too?
