I wasn't able to get it - the rep said it was new cardmembers only. (I got mine in May)
Do you guys think there's any downside in calling back multiple times? I wouldn't want my account to look like I'm a pain in the neck, but it'd be nice to get the 20k to 50k more if it's possible.

I'd advocate maybe a call, followed by a SM (if unsuccessful the first time) and then sitting tight until the next opportunity in order to at least try to keep things under the radar.

Well last month (2weeks ago) I got rejected 7 times trough SM (for my GLD Biz), then I finally call them and I got my 100k noted, few hours later I sent a SM to expedite my 100k and they did it too

how about this...this offer is a bonus offer(used to entice people to initially signup)..and its for your first 5 months of getting the card...hence the different end dates....and some being able to get the deal added when getting their card in feb(which is more then 5 months but maybe they activiated their cards in march)

Ha. Just got called up AmEx MR and got denied as this promo only applies to newer PR gold cardmembers; I got mine back when it first came out in 2009.
While I was denied, the CSR neted that promo code 6664 will forever be burned into her brain. I wonder if AmEx MR CSRs have a series of four digit numbers permanently memorized thanks to FT.
Oh well, I got the the 50K plat bump and the 10 K inSite bonus; I guess you can't win them all!

I got my PRG Card in November 2010.
I just called MR and the lady sounded kinda new, like she was on her first day on the job. I told her the offer code, she read me the terms of the offer, and then added it onto my account.
She didn't say how long I would be getting 10k per 15 transactions for? Or what technically the first month would be?
Can anyone advise me on those two issues?
Thanks

I think that all reps are aware of this promotion and don't need a bonus code. Her first question was when I got the card. I got it last year and she told me that this offer is for new accounts only. If you want a bonus - apply for the new card (her words). It seems that other people with old accounts were also unsuccessful.

PRG opened May 2011.
1st call - instantly denied.
2nd call - SUPER friendly agent that was more than willing to enroll me.
I'll be calling in the beginning of October to inquire about retroactive credit for 15 transaction in July (always have to wait 8 weeks after fulfilling the goal).

Hello,
I just was just on the phone with a nice membership rewards rep trying to apply the 10,000 points per AU promotion but he said it could not be added. He did take the time to look into promotions in the system and did see that there is a promotion that started in July and ends in Nov for every 15 transactions you complete per card month you get 10,000 bonus points up until Nov. He said this offer is automatically on my account but the bonus code is 6664 if anyone else wants to try it.

that said the rep wanted to know how I heard about it as they are being inudated with calls regarding this and its getting to them and wasting their time. She apologized since in fact she saw I was targeted. So maybe cool it with calling up till Sun or Mon

Yeah, they are getting pounded right now, hold times were really long. May want to try on the weekend. Doesn't appear to be any rush.

Yeah holds are super long right now, but I just called and got the promotion noted on my account. The rep said only for new card holders, I got my PRG on july 6 so she said no problems. Only thing is she said I need to call back every month for them to note the account . Thank OP, this + AU thing made my week.
