Ive had the delta gold Amex for a few years, and now I’m interested in getting the regular Amex platinum card since I saw there’s a 150k welcome/referral bonus. However, it says I’m not qualified for the 150k bonus, and can only get 80k (prequalified), probably because I’ve had this other Amex card in the past? Is there a way around this restriction?

I was in the same boat as you a month ago. I just looked for a referral link online for a 150k, people are incentivized to post referral links in the open since the kickback is probably pretty nice (I get 30k for my friends' 90k bonus when I refer for Amex Gold).
Found a link, confirmed I would get 150k sign-up bonus, applied, and was instantly approved with the 150k offer. Easy peasy.

Wish I could help you but looks like all I’ve got for platinum is 80k points and $200 statement credit. I’d recommend trying an incognito browser search for it too, worked for me with mine. If all else fails, like PwC said, search for the offer online - the Amex Reddit is a good place for referral links

You should open a referral link in different browsers and/ or a private/ incognito window and you should see the 150k+$200 cash back. Usually I see that when opening the link in a PCs chrome or microsoft edge incognito. If you want a referral link you can DM.

I am able to see and apply for the 150k offer, but once I input my personal information for the application and submit, it tells me that I am not eligible to receive the welcome offer.

If you’ve never had platinum before that is strange. Try once more in a private/ incognito browsing window. Happened with another friend of mine and incognito solved it. You should see if you’re not eligible before you hit submit though.

I’ve tried private browsers but they know my SS# so why I apply I always get the pop up message that I’m eligible. It doesn’t say a reason, and Reddit says that it could be for vague random things, whatever Amex decides
