Are you suggesting 91 days between applications for the same card (Biz Plat, Biz Plat or Biz Gold, Biz Gold) or 91 days between applications for any AmEx Biz cards (Biz Plat, Biz Gold)? Thank you.

Got a BIZ PLT in October.

Just got a letter in the mail with a reservation code for another BIZ PLT.

Applied....and got this as a result:

DO I have to wait a certain number of days to apply again? I was hoping to double dip the annual credits getting a card before Dec 31.

Did you get an email offer? Last year in Dec I got a special email offer and applied. Got approved but one week later got a second email offer. Since the rule was one card per 5 days I applied but the application got declined as a duplicate. I wanted to apply later, but that second link stopped working.

It was either email offer or online on my account when I logged in. Saved the link for month before applying

I am curious if anyone has received an offer with no- life-time restrictions lately? Or has Amex figured out something was wrong on their side to have sent of this kind of offers?

Completed spend over a week ago and did not receive the bonus

I completed spend on two cards on the same day and the same time. One was the blue business Plus card (30k) and the other was the business Platinum 150k bonus.

On the 27th I received the 30,000 points for the blue business plus, but did not receive the no language 150,000 bonus.

Has anyone had this before?

Sorry, I can't answer this as it hasn't occurred to me, but I did want to congratulate you on your first post nearly 6 1/2 years after you joined !

We apologize for any inconvenience". I have tried for several days.

When I call the number (which is incorrect, btw), the agent can only give me the standard 120K offer

Does anyone know what this error means, or how I can get around it? I'd really like the 160K!

I am having this issue, tried Brave, Chrome, and Safari browsers. Also noticed that the invite URL has an embedded invite number and zip code. I am the invitee who was targeted, but I've moved since I received the invite and my zip code has changed. Tried again using my old address/zip code, but still got the error. Anybody else have these issues and able to find a workaround?

Did you get the second bonus (SUB) yet?

2 weeks ago I completed minimum spend (tax payments) on a Biz Plat and a Biz Gold within an hour on the same day; one SUB showed pending 6 days later, the other 7 days later (I got a little concerned after 3-4 days ). Both posted to my MR balance on the same day (another day or 2 later).

I seem to remember past MR SUBs posting within 2-3 days of meeting minimum spend. Anyone else think AmEx now delays SUB posting by a few (more) days?

Getting a 2nd Business Platinum card

I was approved for a Business Platinum card five months ago but was targeted for a second Business Platinum card by mail just a few days ago. Would I get the sign up bonus for the second card?
