After reading the above post by singtx, sent secure message via rewards website. Within 2 hours received a message stating that although the 75K offer is solicited they will grant me an exception and give me the additional 50K as a goodwill gesture. Awesome deal, and great service by Amex.
Big thanks to the OP and others who relayed various avenues to securing the additional points. That extra 50K (or more) is a huge difference to any of us. Flyertalk at its finest.

MYB821: which one did they give you a harder time on? The one you applied for last year or the newest one? Someone had stated that the offer didn't come out till April so I was wondering if that has something to do with it... also what did you tell them in your secure message? Did you include the offer number?

I say temporary because you'll get another 65K manually added to your account once you call membership rewards and tell them the $500 required for the promo has been spent.
The Amex app processing department and membership rewards departments are totally disjointed on this promo. The key here is to talk to membership rewards first and get their commitment on manually adding the points to your account BEFORE the apps department processes your application.
