What is happening to Amex signup bonuses?
« on: December 27, 2015, 07:39:32 PM »
It's already since 12/09 after finishing my spending threshold for my Business Platinum card all charges have posted and still no pending points in my account, usually points are at least in pending stage after a few days finishing spending, what is other people's experience so far?

Regular spending points are pending as usual

Prob EOY slowness on their end. Did you chat them about it at all? Or are there reasons for not having done so yet?  :P

I would think search guy would search if this was discussed yet before starting a new thread.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

No reason actually but there's no points as these reps are clueless in most cases

Think it is scattered amongst several Amex threads here.

But over on FT they do have a designated thread for this.

Mainly here.
I don't think you get the point of a new thread, a lot of times things need a bit more attention and more discussion so they DO deserve a new thread

I just wanted to point out the irony. No offense intended. It could be this is deserving of its own thread, but the old one should be transformed.

I was also thinking of opening a thread for this, IMO this is worthy of its own thread.

Instead of checking the other thread for updates, i can observe this thread. Convenience

The old one had its own subject that was worthy, to several people, of its own thread.

Maybe some of the pages on it can be merged into this one, but it should still stay.

How many people have to discuss if it's worthy of a new thread, just in order to follow the thread?
Just post a dot.

It seems like it's happening to Amex every quarter of a year as you see here:

Does this mysterious delay apply to referral bonuses too?
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

Are people experiencing delays with co-branded cards (i.e. SPG) as well? Or just MR?

Mainly here.
The other thread is about completely different thing. The only relevant post to this thread is my post (which is off topic in that thread)

OP: I am in the same boat. Has your statement closed yet? I completed spending on 12/16, and statement closed 12/19. The spending bonus just went into pending today (9 days is kind of late, should have taken only 3 days). No sight of welcome bonus yet (normally should take 3 days to post, not going to pending)
