@Rob, did I cock-up?

I applied for the platinum card using the link in the pinned platinum 80k thread.
Amex have said on a chat with them today that this didn’t come through to them as a referral from you/HfP, just as a standard application, so 80k and nothing extra for me or you as the referrer.

For future reference, how should I have done this?

You need to ask us/someone for a dedicated refer a friend link. This takes you to a special application portal and shows the higher bonus clearly at all stages.
