Physical mailers have now been sent out and they include the following link: americanexpress.com/ExPOenroll46. You should be able to use this link to see if you’re eligible, if it doesn’t mention the 10,000 points then you won’t be eligible. Hat tip to Lazy_Gremlin

Our Verdict
Previous times this has been offered there has been generic direct links that worked for people even if they weren’t targeted, readers are telling me that the links are unique this time so I guess this won’t work. If you have any questions about Pay Over Time (e.g hard/soft pull) I’d recommend reading through our F.A.Q on the topic found here. You don’t actually need to use the pay over time feature to get the 10,000 bonus points, you must simply enroll in it. The short of it is that it’s definitely worth doing if you’re targeted, just don’t actually use the feature and pay all of your credit card bills in full and on time.
I was targeted via email for 20,000 points but I did the 10,000 points earlier within the year

Anyone know how long these actually take to post? Bonuses usually post after a couple days, as do Amex Offers with MR, but these seem to not. My annual fee just hit, don’t want to renew the card but want the points.
I’m in the same boat. Seems like the pay over time 10k bonus stop posting with couples day after spring. Still waiting on my. I sign up on july 3rd.
i just got an email saying “congrulations, sunny! you’ve been selected to enroll in flexible payment option” but i don’t see it on the email about the 10K points
Got this offer in the mail yesterday for my Plat, but my mailer has a slightly different web address. Instead of ending in “46”, mine ends in “47”. Doesn’t look like it’s live yet as the website says they are “unable to process at this time.” Will try to call in instead.
Tried to get the 10k again after I got it at 5 months ago, no go. I un-enrolled my Pay Over Time a couple months after enrolling when I saw a dp on Reddit by someone un-enrolling and re-enrolling and getting 10k multiple times, guess RAT saw it too because while they sent me a mailer and allowed me to re-enroll it’s been a couple weeks and I have not seen the additional 10k MR.
How to un-enroll it? Thanks!

FYI – Took me a bit to find the link, as it did not show up as a hyperlink.
Got an email today and it says they enrolled my PRG automatically to Pay over time feature and there is no mention of 10000 points.. Is there anything i could have done to avoid the automatic enrollment?
That sucks, but there are sporadic reports of that happening. Don’t think there’s anything you could have done to stop it. You could un-enroll and then sign up again if you get a 10k offer. The 10k may or may not post though.
I got this offer for two of my Amex cards sometime in the past 6 months; PRG and Green (green is now closed). Unfortunately, I never used the pay over time offer after signing up and never got the points for it.
This isn’t directly related to this offer, but I recently called front-line customer service to try and get transferred to retention since I don’t like drawing attention to myself by calling directly. While she refused to transfer me or even acknowledge retention bonuses exist, she did offer me the 10k MR for this deal. I have never received a targeted offer for this via snail or email, so if you’re not targeted that may be a route.
Seems like the front-line CSRs may have the ability to offer it.
Oh, and then I called retention the next day and still got a retention offer.
All of my charge cards were automatically enrolled in Pay Over Time… Lame.
You can chat to get un-enrolled but they claim you can never enroll again in the future. Have never received any offers like this to suggest otherwise.
I re-enrolled a couple weeks ago. Chat told me the same thing.
