Despite there being a link, and applying through it, I was told by AMEX that I am not enrolled in such offer because it does not exist. So all I am saying is once accepted, call and double check that you are actually enrolled in the promotion.
I was just approved using the link and just confirmed via chat of the 20k point bonus. not sure why you had issues...

Same boat here. Applied with the bonus link, paperwork and online account had no mention of the bonus, so I chatted in to confirm it was on the account.

I got a different (and generally worse) offer in the mail: 20k after spending $5k/3 mos. but with 15 months no interest.

Nevermind, the issue got resolved through online chat. For some reason the promotion did not post immediately to my account.

Product change unsuccessful in my case

Late last week, I called Amex to request product change of current Blue for Business to new Plus (2X) version. CSR said that option was not available.

Not enough information. How long have you had the current Blue for Business? I'm not sure you can product change any card that you haven't had for a year or so yet. (I think it has something to do with that consumer credit protection law instituted a few years ago.)

True, but that law doesn't apply to Business cards, although American Express could choose to adopt the policy more broadly.

Well, this offer convinced me to apply for my first business card. Accepted with a $22.5K limit. Must be because of my other 'portfolio' of Amex cards.

Regardless, this is a great opportunity to get 2X points on any spend and a nice sign up bonus with no AF. Can't afford not to apply!

And participates in the MR program, and does not require holding a card with an AF.

Applied and approved online using Wiki link on 6/4, card shipped from Omaha, NE, via UPS 2nd Day Air on 6/5, received on 6/7. Was pleasantly surprised they used UPS since the email approval said 7 to 10 days.

I was just approved for the card and added it to my online AMEX account, which already has the personal Platinum and business Platinum cards. I can see the Blue Plus, but it doesn't show the MR info. In fact, that whole side of the screen is essentially blank. How do I add it to the MR account so that my MR account will be active when I cancel my Plat cards?

How soon you do have cancel your Plat cards? The reason I ask is that you may want to wait a few days first to see if the Blue MR info display problem fixes itself. Earlier posts in this thread (such as post 41) mention the same problem you're reporting clearing up in a day or two.

No great rush. Couple months. I'm just asking to see if, like you said, this is something that will fix itself, or if I will have to call in.

My existing MR account info showed up on the Blue Business Plus screen yesterday, 3 days after approval and the same day my card arrived. I previously had 1 MR card plus two non-MR cards under the login; total cards now under the login is 4.

How many AMEX Offers are you guys getting so far? Again, I don't have my card yet but I added the card to my profile. I have 1 offer, for vitalchoice.com. WAs that the case for you, and did you get more offers a few days later?
