Now, I'm not sure if I got it from frugal travel guy, points guy or dansdeals' websites or scraped it from one of the threads here.

Data point:
- I applied for both the personal Gold premier rewards (25K Top Flyer link which later converted to a 10K lion the submit page) and the personal platinum rewards card (frugal guy 50K link) on July 4.
- Instant approval on both cards.
- Only a single credit pull on Experian for both apps (think that is Experian's doing instead of Amex's).
- Secure mail to ask them to bump the bonus on the gold card (to 75K points) was successful referencing 5894.
- They did ask that I email them once I'd hit the $500 spend threshold and they would manually add the remaining points.
- Still have not received or activated either card.

OK, another data point. Received a targeted offer for 50K MR points after purchases of $500. Applied yesterday and was approved instantly. Sent a secure message to Amex referencing Bonus ID 5985. Received a reply today that I am eligible to be bumped to 75K. Was told to e-mail Amex once I have met my spending threshold so they can credit my account with additional 25K bonus points. So this offer still alive. Again, I applied on July 7th.

I totally forgot about sending reply back after $500 spent on July 5th. Now the spend actually is just short of $2K. But there is no point anywhere I can see, though statement is not close probably for another 10-15 days.
I haven't paid the balance yet but sent a reply nonetheless to see what they will say.

Where do you see the "earn" or "pending" points?

one denial post July 1
My partner applied for the 10k offer yesterday, was instantly approved and sent a request via SPG. Request was denied (see below), but there is no mention of it being because the offer expired (5894). See below:
I can appreciate your interest in the offer associated with the Premier Rewards Gold Card and will be glad to go over this with you.
Regrettably we are unable to extend the offer to you as this offer is only for solicited non-Cardmembers. Please understand that not all offers can be honored for all Cardholders as they may have applicable terms and conditions that do not apply as such.
I understand that this may be disappointing to you; however, you can expect to see various promotions throughout the year for which you may be eligible. Our intent is to provide offers that will appeal to various interests and different types of people.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to assisting you in the future.

My wife got a targeted offer for 75K points (for which she was approved before July 1) and the back of her invitation letter noted Bonus ID 5985. That is what I told Amex when I sent them a secure message. Her offer did indeed note that she needed to spend $1000 in the first three months but the reply I received from Amex acknowledged that I only needed to spend $500 in the first three months of being a card member and that the remaining 25K points would be credited to my account once I (1) reach the $500 spending threshold and (2) contact Amex via the secure e-mail to let them know to apply it to my account. I would be happy to post the e-mail I sent and the reply I received if anyone is interested.
