I just called, get a CSR notated to my account. a couple points from my the conversation:
1. Apply to accounts opened after 7/1/2011 (but seems this is not a must, I've my account open before that, and the 1st CSR refused the code because of this, then I called back again, bingo!)
2. Promo period is now to 10/1/2011.
3. Max 50K points for this promo.

I opened on 6/20/2011, yes I got the 75K bump, although I haven't met the spending, so they are not posted yet.
The MR CSR says this is not an automatic promo, need to call back to have the points manually added after I completed the transactions.

Just stepped off a flight, saw this and called Amex. I just got my card this week and bumped the bonus to 75k. MR car said no prob, 15 transactions, 10k per month for five months (no end date). He specifically said no minimum purchase, you can buy gum.
Man I love FT and Amex!

Just added..
I added to both my accounts. I was told it ends October 1st.....
I was also told I had to call in after I met my 15 transactions so they could manually add the 10K...
So essentially if you add it now you have 20K you could earn....10K each month
Edited: I just read someone posting that it was for each 15..max 50K..
Can the next person that calls and gets this added please find out if it is each 15 = 10K of a max of 15 per month?? Then post what they were told?

Yul- Did you call to apply for the code or was it on your account already?
Dustemn- It seems from what you wrote that if you didn't call, you wouldn't know you even had this promo code on your account. Is this right?
I opened my card in last week of July. How do I check if I already have promo code on account online? Where do I check?
Is American Express gold the same as American Express Premier Rewards Gold?

Right if I did not call I would have known nothing about this promotion.
Also yes, The Premier Rewards Gold card is the one I have and I signed up july 20 something.

I just got in. Got the card on June 30 and received the bump to 75K. That wasn't an issue. 15 transactions = 10K. I wasn't targeted, but she got supervisor approval to add the bonus.
I can call in 6 weeks after the close of each month to get each bonus or call one time at the end of the promotion to get the full amount. She said if I had 15 transactions in July, I could get that bonus but unfortunately I only had 12. So I have the potential of 4 months Aug-Nov.
No mention of 10K per every 15 transactions, however. Platinum is not eligible.
It took over 30 minutes on the phone but got it done. No luck on the AU's though.

Also, can anyone confirm, is it 15 transactions per "Calender Month" or per billing cycle?
