Just got my 50K from a referral on Vanilla Plat.

How many days/weeks did it take to receive the points after meeting the 3k spend?

I don't know exactly when I hit the spend, but it could not have been more than 4 weeks.

I did the 25k cause I heard from other people that it took up to 8 weeks to get the points with the 50k referral and I didn't want to pay cancellation fees. Oh well :(

It always "can take 6-8 weeks" but often its much quicker.

I know, I always get mine after a couple days with the normal links, but I spoke to some people and they said it was taking much longer to get the referral link points.

even assuming it takes 8 weeks you would still prob make the time bracket because it counts from when the AF posts which in my experiance gives you a couple of weeks leeway.

in the unhappy event that you do go over and have to pay for three months of membership it would cost you roughly $110-$120, 25,000 even at an extremely rediculous rate of 1cpp would be worth $250!!

sorry to break it to you your math needs some help!

The extra 1k spend would have taken me at least another month since I did a 3BM, so it would of been 3-4 months before I got the points, then I'd have to wait to sell them too. I just didn't want to risk it or wait.

If you had Amex products before they put the new T&C language you'll be fine. No one knows what will happen if you get the product after the new language, then try and get it again.
