Kicking myself for not taking the offer....

So I was browsing the AMEX card line up in incognito mode and received an offer for the PRG.... spend $2k in three months and get 50k MR. I decided to pass on it but now after the fact I am starting to realize that was a fantastic offer. I can't seem to get that offer to pop up again. 

 

 

My question is - can I call AMEX to see if they will honor the same offer? Or do I just keep trying the incognito method and hope it pops up again?

No, they won't. You can always go to their pre-qual link and keep on trying till you see it.

Double the points for the same spend if you're already looking to get it might be worth a call.  I have the same offer sitting in my e-mail but, I have a philosophy about not paying to use plastic and PIF on everything on top of that.

Try checking the amex prequalify link.

I did now and it shows PRG 50K bonus points with 1k spend in 3 months.

Amex isn't known for matching offers after the fact, so you'll need to keep trying.  Smiley Wink

 

I hadn't seen any offer for 50k MR points in literally months, but when I applied for my Delta Gold I went 'incognito' and checked for a PRG offer just for the heck of it (it truly was 'for fun', since I was fairly certain it wouldn't be there).  Lo-and-behold, the 50k/$2k offer came up so I had to jump on it.

 

In my case, I was using a VPN routed through Dallas, although many others have reported finding the offer on a 'normal' internet connection.  Some people are able to get the offer at work but not at home (or vice-versa) so that's a thought as well.  Also, for a while I was able to get the offer on my Amazon Fire tablet, but not my PC or smartphone (the Fire tablet's Silk browser has back-end work done by Amazon servers, which apparently made a difference).

 

Keep trying... you'll find it again!  Smiley Happy

I haven't seen the link for the pre-qualifier on AMEX's website in over 2 weeks.  Anyone else notice this or am I overlooking it maybe?
