Does anyone know lately how long it takes for points to post.
After a 12 month hiatus, I got another platinum, and even after first statement, MR account still shows 0 points.
I.e. no base points nor bonus points.
I spoke to two reps, and they told me it will only come up after the second statement.
They claim they can't expedite it because its not even showing on the account as pending.
I am not in such a rush for the points, just want to make sure that everything is normal.
Thanks.

Just SM to confirm your eligibility and you should be good. It just may take a week/statement or two (or three).

1) americanexpress.com
2) Log on
3) From the large menu bar on top, click on rewards
4) Click on points summary under the membership rewards column

Should show as pending points

How many months?
It is not so much the worry, just want to avoid the AF as much as possible.

If I was trying to churn, and I technically am not eligible for the bonus again, do you think its better to SM to confirm or just leave it and hope for the best?

I was billed the annual fee on my platinum card and the 60 days are almost up.

Id like to downgrade instead of closing the card.

The rep said that the zinc card isn't around anymore.  Are there any other fee free /cheap options?

Thank you
