It MIGHT work if you referred her for BAPP, she made a fresh application and then Amex realised it was an upgrade and transferred over her old card.
This used to work perfectly well (not sure if the referrals tracked, but the process was sound) but recent reports suggest that Amex is now blocking applications from existing cardholders and forcing you to do it over the phone, where you can’t get a referral in. Worth a try online of course.
