Similar report from 2015: Can targeted offer be pulled?
Did you attempt to apply by phone using the RSVP code?

So I guess this is a rare case. This happened to me a few years ago as well. Weird. No idea why they can't just give me a working rsvp code immediately. They were claiming offers are given by the marketing department and that there is no direct way to reach them, and they have to go through a step by step process for resolution. I refuse to believe that communications within a company is so badly set up.

FWIW, it’s far easier to check all AmEx card balances on the mobile app than on the desktop website. The mobile app shows a list of all cards with the current balance displayed, desktop website shows one card balance at a time.

American Express has recently added an Overview tab, to the left of the Home tab, which adds this functionality to the website. In my case it displays three accounts/balances, and then I click > 3 More Cards to see the rest.

Lol fml, I called in again yesterday to inquire on the status of the investigation, they had no answer of course, but enticed me with a promo offer on the Business Gold (not as good as the Business Platinum). Applied over the phone and was approved. Today, I find in my mail, another 150k Business Platinum targeted offer. I guess they worked up another code and sent it to me in response to my complaint. Would have been nice to just tell me this from the start as I would have refrained from applying for the Business Gold. Just for kicks, I tried out the new BP rsvp code (but didn't go through with the application) and of course it works. Lol.

Highly improbable. This offer has no connection to the previous one. American Express is a mass market company, these offers are generated far in advance, and you would have received it even if you had opened a Business Platinum card with the previous offer.

I am really hoping to get Amex Business platinum (for 35% bonus) but I've already had card 3-4 years ago and under a different business TAX EIN.
I've tried some targeted offers for Amex Business Platinum but get message "This offer is no longer available." If you'd still like to apply for a Business Card from American Express click here."
When I click to see Business Cards offered... I see an offer for 120K welcome offer on Amex Business platinum but when I click through to application it has the verbiage "Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card." If I submit application using this method... what are my chances of getting welcome offer again? There's a lot reports of getting SUB twice but I'm not sure if I need to wait to get targeted off without the ""Welcome offer not available..." verbiage or if this one will work?

If the application displays a popup telling you that you are not eligible for a bonus, you will not earn one. You need to receive a targeted offer without the previous cardholder exclusion, directly from American Express. Verify that you have given American Express permission to send you promotional messages by postal mail and email.

This is American Express' way of telling you that you were not targeted.
If the application displays a popup telling you that you are not eligible for a bonus, you will not earn one. You need to receive a targeted offer without the previous cardholder exclusion, directly from American Express. Verify that you have given American Express permission to send you promotional messages by postal mail and email.

I also checked my email for NLL targeted offers and did not see any. I mainly use Amex personal cards but I do have an old Marriott Bonvoy business card which I rarely use. I'm jealous of ya'll getting these targeted offers!

Signup bonus for multiple Amex Platinum cards (Biz)?
Hi,
I had opened years ago a business amex platinum card and received a sign up bonus. Then last January I got a targeted offer, I applied, I did not get the once in a lifetime verbiage, and I got another bonus.
Now I have applied and been approved for another business platinum card, and did not get the verbiage again. Will I still receive my signup bonus I assume?
Thanks!

Yes, provided the terms of the offer do not exclude previous Business Platinum cardholders, and that you were targeted for the offer by American Express.

Is the minimum waiting period between getting the same card still 3 months? I applied and was approved for my third business platinum in october but got another mailer today with no lifetime language
And is the maximum number of business cards seems to be 5-6 per login?
