AMEX Signup Bonus - Can you get it more than once?
Ok, so here is the scoop. Back in 2008 I had signed up for and recieved the Gold Delta AMEX card which came with 20,000 skymiles. The card was closed shortly afterwards (I have a few choice word about AMEX in regards to that, but that's a different story) with no issues. Anyways, recently I recieved an offer in the mail for the Platinum Delta AMEX. It has a pretty decent offer attached to it (40,000 skymiles, 15,000 MQMs and $100 off a Delta Purchase) that I would like to take advantage of - especially those MQMs.
I seem to recall that in the past the standard was that if you previously held a Delta AMEX you could only get the difference welcome bonuses. So that since I had already recieved 20,000, I would only get 20,000 of the 40,000 miles. Is this still how AMEX is doing this or has anyone had any luck in getting the full amount? Figured I would see what other individuals had expereienced before I give AMEX a call...

Not sure about doubling up on the offer, however I had that same exact offer and make sure you keep a screenshot of the offer and the offer code. Took me months of calling and empty promises of fixing it before I finally got my miles.

In a semi-related question, can you get the sign-up bonus on both a personal and business card? I already have a personal Delta Amex, but may pull the trigger on a business card if it comes with the sign-up bonus.
