Anyone have recent experience on how long the 20K/22K bonus takes to appear after you do the £2000 spend ? Welcome docs are stating it'll appear on the 5th statement. I think this is a new stipulation.
Anyone have any recent contrary experience ?

Not sure where to ask this but maybe someone on here can advise?
If I switch over to Amex Plat, can I -
1. Transfer my MR points to Plat account
2. Get the 50k bonus points for the plat.

2. Dream on
(well, officially, someone mentioned recently they referred themselves from Gold to Plat and got the points but I wouldn't bank on it)

I've tried to think back if i might have done something in my application that caused it and it *might* be because my address has a house name with a couple of variants, but I do think I used the existing one. I'm also pretty sure I entered the existing card numbers in the application form.
Another factor could be that, by the time my Gold card was set up (I was not accepted online), I'd already cancelled my Plat card, though my MR account was still active, so I'm not convinced it was that.
I also got the cashback via Quidco.

Tried to post this just as the old thread was getting closed so copying here.
I referred myself from Plat to Gold and got the points, but think I got lucky. When my Gold card was set up, it was done with a new MR account and I got both the referrers bonus and, even after I got the MR accounts merged, I still got the new applicant bonus was I reached the £1000 (as it was then) spend.

I also got the £40 cashback via Quidco, which is why I didn't go down the referral route - that was a better deal at the time.
