The first time I called in they didn't calculate it and just told me that it takes 6-8 weeks and maybe a bit longer for the bonus. When it still did not come I called them and they said that I had not meet my spend. BY then it was months later. I opened a case as they had told me I was going to get the bonus. They closed the case without even calling me back. When I called back they put me on hold for 40 minutes, and the line disconnected, but they never called me back. I called in again and they were willing to give me 10k points for my experience. But that was all.

 Can I get the bonus using my customer service experience?

Keep trying.... A sympathetic US account manager can work wonders, but you need to get the right one.

Last year I goofed on the Hilton Surpass card (didn't subtract the AF), and they gave me a month extension on chat.

After complaining a lot they gave me 28,000 skymiles, and wrote in my notes if I ever get the card again and meet the spend, the supervisor strongly advises I should be given the bonus. He also gave me his name and Id. He said the supervisor in the future will have the final say though.

You didn't complain enough, you just gotta tell them that you're card arrived late... And hope they don't check for date you first activated/used the card...

The first time I called they told me it takes time for bonuses to post. The second time they calculated it from date of activity.
