Gold Card and Gold Card Rewards Plus - applying for both ?
Last week I applied online for a Gold card (10,000 points after the first use) and got accepted. Today I received a pre-approved offer in the mail for a Gold Rewards Plus card (25,000 points if I spend $1000 by July 31st). Anyone see a problem if I apply for this second card ? It seems to me that it's a different type of Amex card.

Second, if you applied for the Preferred Rewards Gold Card with a 10,000 bonus (a current AX offer), and the Gold Rewards Plus card with a 25,000 bonus, you should get both bonuses.
Third, AX allows you to apply and receive for separate card products (different names) and get both bonuses. However, if you already received a bonus for the same card product, you won't get the bonus twice.
Assuming the first year fee is waived for both cards, apply for both, you have nothing to loose.

First, you need to tell us the exact Gold Card that you applied for last week. AX has many similar sounding products.
