Does this mean you can SM/call before receiving the card to have a code applied? I was approved on 8/8 but have not received the card yet.

I was approved on 8/8 too, waiting for the card in the mail. I don't have an amex login so will wait to get the card and then request for the bump.
Let us know how the bump request goes.

If you have another amex card and already have a login, you might be able to see this new card when you logon to the amex site. If you do, you can SM mentioning the last 4 digits.

If you have a login you won't see your card if you send a SM but you can just select a different card and the CSR will see your MR cards. I emailed minutes after applying. Amex's computer system creates your card number instantly and emails you the last five within minutes of your approval.

Another data point: Approved 8/12 online. Called the regular customer service number a few minutes ago, pressed 0 three times to speak to a person. Told the CSR that I had just been approved for a PRG card, and wanted to make sure that I signed up under the correct bonus code, which was 6661. CSR transferred me to Membership Rewards, where the cheerful rep told me that I did indeed qualify for 6661: 75k points after $1k spend. Said she noted it on my account, and that points would appear up to 8 weeks after meeting the spend. Whole call took 5 minutes.

here is my question: how long of a memory does amex have for awards? i had a gold card that i closed in sept 09 that i also got a 75k bonus. i also had delta & starwood cards that i closed recently (although delta just sent me an offer to come back for 30k miles). should i wait until october when two years have passed to reapply for this offer or has enough time passed that i may qualify.
thanks to all for the great info!
