It depends on what offer you clicked on to get there. Some offers are for 5K on signup, and some are for 1.5K. There may be others, but the highest offer I am aware of is 5K.

I signed up 11/3 for the 5k offer on 2 cards. One card already posted the 5k!

So I'm guessing that it's probably true and not that she didn't want to give me the points. So probably will work for anyone with older accounts or long term history w/AMEX (maybe as mentioned).

My current PRG Amex has been open for less than 6 months, and I signed up for (and promptly received) the bonus in the past week. FWIW, I have had this card in the past, and have been an Amex customer for an embarrassing number of decades (since ~1984 or so).

Add me to the recently successful. Signed up a couple of days ago and today got the 5k MR on my Platinum card I opened in March. Once again, thank you to FT.

I had to fight like crazy for this one. Signed up in Feb, was able for the bonus in August, and didn't get it until about 5 emails/phone calls a month later. It was referenced on my account as an option with the bonus yet they didn't want to fulfill their end of it. Imagine that.

Not that luck here, I've been trying persistently but the link responds with under maintenance

I signed up last week with Amex Gold Premier and 5k posted today. My Amex Gold Premier card is opened less than one year, but I have been with Amex for various cards for over 10 years.

When I tried to sign up online I was told that I had already done so. Couldn't remember doing it so I called and they said I had been signed up last April but since the time frame was applicable for the bonus miles they granted them immediately.

Just signed up on a Platinum and PR Gold card on Saturday, 10k in points posted this morning. ^

Asked for income info but no hard pull.

Worth a try though!!!:(


I opened a BRG card last January and a Plat card in February - and got a targeted invite for these in about March or April and got it on both cards.

5000 for both my wife and I on our PRG cards. Cards have been open since May.

tried to sign up via secure message and was told that it is a targeted offer

I signed up via the link provided elsewhere on this forum sometime ago. When no points posted, I contacted AMEX via secure message and got shot down with the same argument. However, if it's targeted, how was I able to register? And how is the link publicly available? I'm pushing back -- got a second response that they're "researching" this, whatever that means. I'll post an update when I get a response.

I have plat and gold and had already done it for 5k for gold, but got the link to do it for plat last week. I signed up, but haven't had the points post yet.

infamousdx Nov 11, 2011 12:15 pm

Signed up via link.
Shut down via SM.
Received the letter yesterday welcoming me to pay over time program.

Oh well
