Booked flight over a week ago and 50% did not post yet,  can it ever take this long?
Thanks

Usually 24-48 hours, a week is too long...

chat/call and see what they say. if they say 6-8 weeks then push back and say normally it comes within a couple days thats why i am concerned and I need those points for something else...

You won't know if you don't try.

Am I correct that Amex Bus Platinum offer is only available if you've never ever had a business platinum card?

Booked a non refundable flight with my Amex plat for a meeting which got cancelled. Will Amex flight insurance cover?

Is this correct that it works even if you previously had a plat and got a bonus for it?

no reason at all. Just don't spend it too quickly so you won't get frd and don't forget you get a travel credit as well

Right. Should VGCs be avoided?
