Our Verdict
The nice thing about this offer is there is no lifetime language, so you can get the bonus even if you’ve had the card before (as always make sure to check your particular offer to ensure there is no lifetime language. Obviously a good deal if targeted and you’ve had the card before. If you haven’t had the card before you might prefer the 60,000 points + $250 deal.

damn! got the window saying i will not get the SUB. should i spend more using my existing amex cards to overcome this? i have a amex everyday preferred card, which has AF. Cannot believe amex thinks I am not bringing profit to them lol.
It says "Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card"
Got the offer for 75K points with NLL. Clicked to apply and the offer changed to 60K and had LL.
What's nll?
no lifetime language
Had this in my Amex offers section. Terms did not have the lifetime language. Applied and Approved instantly.
Chat rep confirmed offer is attached but said to check back in a week?! Not sure what that's about.
No airline credit.
Did you get the bonus?
I got the exact offer
Nada!!!!!!! fake news
No go for me. "Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this Card or the Premier Rewards Gold Card. We may also consider the number of American Express Cards you have opened and closed as well as other factors in making a decision on your welcome offer eligibility"
RATS, I already have the card and also not targeted!
Same! Ugh.
I have the Gold offer popping up but I just canceled my card earlier this week. That has to be a trap. Nice try, RAT team.
New card application no longer receive the $100 airline fee credit.
Yeah they do.. I see it on mine.
