When did you apply, just in the last few minutes?  And you already contacted customer service to check?  Wow, now that's what I call true pessimism.

Yep, you can call me pessimistic on this one. AmEx hasn't really been blowing me away with their customer service so far. And if I took a HP to not get the 50k points I'll be pretty steamed.

 

Here's the confirmation I received on the approval page:

However...

 

"If you are identified as a current or former American Express Card Member, this offer may not be available to you."

 

It's clear they're looking to bait NEW customers.. Smiley Indifferent


Yeah, that's pretty clear and it definitely proves that while some are having success at receiving the promo points even with existing accounts, this is YMMV.

 

Does anyone have experience with what they might do if I don't get the 50K points? If I had just applied for a PRG without this link I should have received 25k. Or are they just going to tell me to get bent and enjoy 0 points?

Did you chose the option to get your card # online? If you selected that option then it will prompt you to add the card to your online banking.

At the end of the app process you have to associate the new card with your existing username.  If you close the window instead you'll have to wait for the card to show up in the mail I think. (Or possibly contact customer service)

 

Mine showed up almost immediately.  I got an email right away saying "Your card is registered..."

In my wife's experience, they're giving the run-around and thus far...4 months after meeting the spend bonus has not received her 25K MR bonus.

 

I, on the other hand, received both bonuses for the PRG, and ED.

I applied for the 50k and got the pending messsage. This morning got the email that my application was approved.  Went online to chat and agent said my acct was approved with the 50k promo Smiley Happy.  I already have the Everyday Premier and Delta Amex cards.


I have a quick question for you, under your card member agreement, does it mention the 50k offer? I thought it was supposed to show it under the actual agreement.

After you login on the lower left side it should say (the last link) Card Member Agreement.
