Thank you!
I thought so, I just wanted to make sure. I just checked my points, and they are ALL pending. Grrrr.
Thanks to you guys, I realized I needed an Amex Card that earns points, so I signed up in July, apparently, your points remain pending until a full billing cycle AFTER your FIRST payment.
That means my purchases from July won't show up until September 10th. I'm begging the Amex folks via chat to let me have them early.
