Applied this morning and was approved and everything showed 100k.

When I did an online chat to confirm the bonus this afternoon (after the offer was pulled), I was told they wouldn't be able to see that until 72 hours after the application.

Should I be nervous that they can't tell me right away? Or was this just not a well changed agent? I don't want to keep bugging them...

Just did an online chat, and the agent confirmed that I would get the 100K bonus. Again, I saved screenshots.

Just to close the loop on my earlier post -- I chatted with another agent and they quickly confirmed the 100k/$3k numbers. Not sure why the first agent had trouble seeing it.

Applied (and approved) Monday and already received the card via UPS this morning. Just called to activate the card and confirmed the 100k bonus with a CSR.

i had the same experiment last month when i got my business platinum, the 1st agent couldn't see the offer immediately and i think it takes for few hours to a couple of days for the offer to show up.

Why would you believe that?

Now I know such a promotion exists, I'll wait for a similar promotion before I consider getting this card.

Or the same variety of Platinum. We jumped on this for my husband because his Ameriprise Plat fee is going to hit in the next month.

I was waiting for the 100K offer to come back around before I signed up. With the once a lifetime rule, it makes sense to hold off.

Follow up: applied Monday night, immediately finished spending. 100k bonus posted now, 50 hours after finished spending.

I have my MB platinum open.

Well with the way Amex is under stress for losing Costco, maybe they'll relax the once per lifetime rule.

Thanks for the perfect data point I was hoping to hear.

Can someone resend link ? I had it yesterday but a phone call made me close out and go to other screen
Thank You
