I just finished  the required spending on a platinum card (the charges posted yesterday) and the bonus points are already pending. but I wonder if that's the regular process since its already an old MR account and the bonus points used to post within a few days but I cant recall if it was first pending.
also on a new MR account does the bonus points become pending right a way or when the statement closes?

There are points in the account, but the bonus is pending?

MR will always post one statement after they go to pending.

On an account that has no points in it previously it will post next statement. On an account that has previous points in it , it will post the next day

MR will always post one statement after they go to pending.

You can only get the benefit once a year per a card number . If you got the benefit in 2016 when it was a plat card then you will NOT get it again . You will get it in 2017 though .

Not a proof  necessarily

If you're just buying gift cards for regular use, buy them online from a GC reseller.

Applied with 100k link?

[yoss6400]

Applied with 100k link?

yes with the 5k 50k and 10k another 50k

[LoLo]

yes with the 5k 50k and 10k another 50k

Meant the 100k personal link, but whatever, they have used downgrading within first few months as an excuse to confiscate points in the past.
