What was the longest it took for the 50% rebate on Amex travel pay with points to post? I've had it post next day,  however most recently it's been a week and nothing posted.

Three times it took 1biz day, but last week it took 2.

Is it too late to apply for an Amex Plat today and use platguy's method to get a $200 travel credit this year? Does the airline incidental  charge need to go from pending to posted in 2016?

Hoping / wondering if Amex will overnight the card.

Grabbed a ORD-BCN flight for $400 RT on delta, but stupidly, waited too long to call and add my lap child. Now they want $180 to add him, will amex travel credit work for this?

when you sign up it may offer you a temporary number, if it didnt it may be too late

It'll display the number sometimes right after you get approved, if it didn't, you have to wait for the card to come.
