I have a SPG already so I can go forward to request the bump up right away or better wait till tomorrow?
Thanks a lot for all the info!

I didn't have much luck getting them to apply the promo before I activated my card; but once I activated, I was able to get them to do it. But as always, YMMV.

Success
A Big Thanks to the thread and in particular, Swat16 and ianturner for their generosity of sharing!
I sent the request last night a few hours after rec'd the instant approval and the AMEX email which came almost immediately after the approval by the way. I sent the request thru my SPG account - MR - Point Balance.
This morning I saw a positive reply from the overseas csr, very similar to the one ianturner got:

Hello Happy,
I understand your concern here.
Considering that you are a valued Cardmember, I have documented your account with information which will help you receive an additional 50,000 once you meet the spend threshold of $500.00 within first 3 months.
Once you reach the spend threshold, please write back to receive an additional 50,000 points. The remaining 25,000 points will be issued automatically by the system.
I hope this information will cheer you up!
Have an excellent day ahead!

Hi,
I was recently approved for an Amex Gold card ending in XXXXX. When I applied, I applied for the 25k bonus points offer. I would like to have offer # 5894 matched which was 75k membership rewards points for $500 in purchases in the first three months. So please adder offer 5894 to my account. Thank you

This should be interesting.. and convoluted.
- Applied through 50K + 2 years waived Columbia
- Switched to 10K
- Wrote to match Columia offer
- Was approved on both 50k + 2 years waived, but told to write back when points posted
- Points just posted & now I wrote back to be matched to 75K
Would be a huge win to get 75k and the 2 years waived...

A little assisting here and there here
Greetings. 
A good brother I know expressed that I should start out with AmEx Gold or Platinum and gradually work my way up with my pretty pennies. Will either card provide me with private spending/buying? Been searching online [the websites] but to no satisfaction. Are paper applications [initially] available at the AmEx gold card level?

Are paper applications [initially] available at the AmEx gold card level?I just got the platinum card with 50k bonus...if i tried getting the gold as well (I need a good way to separate business vs personal expenses anyways) would I be able to earn points into the same MR account? Hope this isn't a stupid question, I'm pretty new to this who FT world. Thanks ahead of time for the help!

It does not worth all the hassle to me, but of course YMMV.
