I just applied and got the PRG - asked about 6608 and they verified that is only for Biz. Soooo I looked at the list:
■6661: 75,000 bonus points; $2000 spend in three months
■5894: 75,000 bonus points; $500 spend in three months
■5985: 75,000 bonus points; $1,000 spend in three months
■5970: 50,000 bonus points; $500 spend in three months
and said, oh my bad, how about 5894? The CSR said fine I'll notate your new account for that bonus ID and confirmed the 75k/$500 in 3 months. We'll see . . .

I believe code 6661 is for $1000 spend, and I am positive I applied it under those terms.
That is what was posted in SD forum .
Unless Amex is just making it up as they go , the MR rep told me $1000 and to further complicate things, he said I had one year, not 3 months.
I would prefer not to have to resort to calling them back, and as I plan on making a $1000 spend tomorrow, I would like to be certain !
Otherwise I will just spend $2000

That poster was incorrect. everyone else has reported CSR's saying it's a $1k/3mo spend.

I could have sworn I type "Personal" in my post. Oh well, it's corrected now:

Thanks for the data point, however, you should be aware that sending a SM has often failed for people with not only the 6661 code, but others in the past. The same applies to other flavors of the Amex MR cards. Calling and speaking with someone appears to be a much more successful route. My wife and I got 6661 successfully applied last week by calling, but had to call several times. SM attempt was shot down, as expected. I'm wondering specifically if NEW applications as of today - for example, if I refer a friend or family member to apply - will still be able to get 6661 to work by calling. From what I can tell, it seems so, but I'm looking for the most recent data points to determine. Thanks again for your input... you should give a call (or several) and see if that works for you.

If not try again. And again
