If I have an AMEX Business Cash Rebate Card, am I still eligible for the GC + MPs offer?

Thanks

Update:

I can't complete the application process online, tried three times, each an hour apart. How incompetent must they be to have so much down time for a critical business application like CC application processing...

Small Business Services
We are sorry.

Due to a computer system error, we are unable to process your application at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

No surprise that I got instant approval. I've been receiving invitations in the mail to get the business gold card for months. This sealed the deal.

P.S. Only have the Blue card and put down sole proprietorship.

Should I say YES if I have a personal cc?

Do you have another American Express
Personal or Small Business Card?

LOL, 'the computer is slow today' is CSRese for 'my job sux and I need a break, so I'll take 5 on this call'.

sauceisboss said:I received my card and welcome information in the mail but the membership rewards info said I was only eligible for 5,000 points with first purchase. I phoned up AMEX before activating to confirm that it was supposed to be 25,000 points. They said they do not see that offer but they could offer me 50,000 points for $500 in purchases. This seems too good to be true so I guess I'll believe it when the miles post. I keep thinking maybe she said 15,000 miles instead of 50,000 miles but I repeated back to her 3 times and she confirmed it each time. The offer number she gave me was 2483. I don't know if you can just call up and request this offer or what. I figured someone might know what to do with it and horde the points.

Called to confirm my first purchase deal - was bonus ID#7466

Rep confirmed that 25k points would post in 12-14 weeks after first purchase...I asked her if I could "double dip" on the offer code 2483 - still on hold...will update when her "screen is udpated" which I think means gets done talking to supervisor. That bonus is for the "Rewards plus gold card" not the business version.

I got the computer system error today too. *sigh*

Mine says that application cancelled, don't know what that means...

minimum of $350 (possibly more if redeeming for flight vouchers) seems like a HOT deal to me...Probably because the offer comes with the coveted Tiger imprimateur. If it was just a repeat of the last $150 deal, I'd rather run through Michael Vick's back yard with a t-bone tied to my azz. I ended up getting the GC last time, but it was a MAJOR hassle. I might end up doing this one, though. I would treat the Tiger GC as a bonus if it came.

ldbobby said:Activated my card today. My rewards info in to mail stated 5,000 points only. But I spoke to the CSR and she stated that I will be getting the 25,000 points because they changed to promo from 5,000 to 25,000 and the paper work didn't get changed in time. Just thought you guys would like to know.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking the CSR either pulled another persons application information or was just clueless about what offers were available on the card I applied for. In either case, I'll just make the $500 in purchases, wait the 14 weeks and see what happens. Worst case, they give me 5,000 points and I have to call and have them to change it to 25 or 50k. Best case, I get 50k points no questions asked.

Has anyone called and tried to apply with the 2483 offer code? Is this 50k offer for real or just a clueless CSR?

For those of you who have cancelled and then re-applied, how long do you have to wait before re-applying and still get the bonus points? I got in on the original TD $150 deal and just cancelled a few weeks ago. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this. TIA
