Changing amex from qantas to MR

[Overlylarge]

Hey guys. I currently have a qantas ultimate card but as im thinking of changing from qantas points to MR points.

Has anyone been able to get the bonus points from Amex when changing cards?

I'm pretty sure that when Amex says bonus points are "only available to new American Express® Card Members" in their terms and conditions, this means you have to have cancelled any previous American Express cards at least 18 months prior... This forum would erupt if anyone was able to get around that!
