I foolishly didn't save a screen shot, but got the approval email. Best way to be sure the I'll get the 100k bonus?

Does the approval email mention the bonus?

I attached a copy of the first few pages of the offer to post #4. You may wish to grab a copy.

Most FTers must have had Amex platinum by now. At least those who frequent the credit card forums.

And its gone........... Link says offer expired. I applied this morning at 7:30am was going to wait then decided not to. I got an error saying system down try again later. But, then an hour later got and approval email.

I started a chat session and got confirmation that I was in for the 100k for 3k spend in 92 days.

All the other sites are saying this is now only for those targeted.

PS although you cant print or email a chat you can get a chat record locator.
AMEX saves chats and the locator will let them verify what the rep told you.

does the card also give SPG gold and Hilton gold as well?

The current offer (75k after 7k spend) seems to show it.

Not long. Already dead. I think it didn't even last 24 hours.

What do people think happened here? Did someone post a referral link that wasn't supposed to be public (perhaps trying to rack up a lot of referrals)? Or perhaps this was this a link that was only supposed to be accessible by targeted people but it worked for the unwashed masses?

On another site, people are claiming to have known about this link for months. Perhaps people were even selling access to it.

Now that I hear its targeted, but if you were approved yesterday, can you still get the 100K? This is my first Amex

Amex reps are reportedly confirming that people approved yesterday are enrolled in the 100,000 offer, but it's unclear if they're aware that the offer was apparently made public by mistake. My guess is that the offer will be honored, but it might take a few days for the dust to settle.

As a data point, I just did an online chat and they confirmed that the bonus is on my account

Glad I decided to randomly check the blogs at 3AM on a TPAC flight. Looks like I got it just before it went dead. ^

I of course took screenshots.
