Six months is typical, some may be a year.

I've just completed amex for the second time, left about two years between my first incentive and the current one.

Re. Amex: If you closed the card yourself and it was in good order there is no time limit on applying again. You could apply the day after you closed it if you wanted to. But getting a sign-up bonus again is unlikely. If the card was closed by Amex due to a change of circumstances you can negotiate. In the case of a default don't hold your breath!
