last day to apply for AMEX PRG for bump
Take it for what it is but I saw on dansdeal.com board that someone called AMEX and asked about promo code. According to him, you need to apply for the Premier Rewards Gold card by August 1, 2011 to be able to use the 75k bonus code which is 5894 or 5985.
I applied and was approved online for this card yesterday. Had to call several times and was transferred for expedited card to arrive this Wednesday.

Applied or bumped
Is the deadline that you have to have applied by Aug 1st, or have already requested the code be added? I guess I'll be the test case; I applied and was approved July 29 and won't get the card until Wed at the earliest (if I have them expedite).

application deadline as I understand it...sorry i can't remember which website i saw the deadline...I have been surfing.
I am almost in the same situation as you. I applied and was approved on July 30, 2011 online. I asked to have it expedited and will be sent to me on Wednesday. I have read your best chance is to call membership award 800-297-3276

I just tried calling but their office is closed.
After logging in the offer they gave me was:
$175 is waived
15,000 points with $30,000 spend
May go ahead and apply and try to add the bonus code later.

My application was on July 30, 2011. I called today to have it expedited and CS confirmed my application. I should be able to receive my bump to 75k since I applied by August 1st.
Sorry if my wording is confusing.

multiple bumps
From what I saw you can't easily get multiple bonus bumps (diff cards.) - maybe it got too popular? At least for me it only worked once. Any other experiences?

in the specific AMEX Gold pers/biz card threads a LOT of people reported getting the bonus for both. Most of them did them both in the same day or 4-6 weeks apart. I'm looking at getting the biz one soon and I already bumped the personal.

My wife got bumps for both PRG and Platinum. I'm not so lucky. They are saying absolutely NO for the Platinum bump.

I started a separate thread here to collect the 'wisdom of crowds'. It may be helpful for people (like me) going through all AMEX offers case by case.
