Has anyone gotten one, or tried and failed?
In either case, what was your spending like?

From Flyertalk Amex Retention Offer thread, one for EDP (and Oct 15):
2.5K points not to cancel, and 5k points for 1K spend within three months, Total 7.5K points, or in the alternate, a $75 statement credit or gift card.
Not amazing...

Well, it's half the original opening offer (I think). Otherwise, could downgrade.

Something is better than nothing as it comes close to covering the AF for a year? Also if you can do the 30 swipes not a bad offer to keep it a EDP vs. ED or cancelling?

Right, I didn't say it was bad, just not amazing (which I will define as something that would make me consider phoning about cancelling in case I get the offer!)
7500 MRs would be nice.
This is the first month I won't hit 30 transactions. I spend about $1000-$1500 per month on it, but without Costco my Amex spending will fall.
Further research shows some people get up to a 15k MR retention bonus. One person specified $81k in spending, so rententions might max out on EDP at 15k.
If I want to be sure I hit 30, I can do Amazon gift card balance reloads.
I think I prefer not caring and avoiding the nuisance in the first place, though, so I'd PC to the no-AF version and SD it.
