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)
Actually a couple of pages of discussion, but this is deserving of 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.

Did you actually read those pages? They are all about refundable/cc farm/claw back. Anyways, debate stops now, and can I suggest that you add something productive and not just commenting on others? Thanks.

I guess you didn't bother reading the response to your post in that thread. We're all waiting, join the club. You can suggest what you'd like, for what it's worth. It's a free country. I'm sorry to hear I'm not as productive as you. Maybe one day I'll get there.

They took a couple months to post a BGR 75K bonus, and then it showed up as a Pt 100K bonus.

Still waiting on an SPG Biz 30K to post from September-October timeframe

That's strange. I know my bonuses have posted normally during that timeframe, as have many other's.

You wait patiently like hundreds of other people.

Just chatted with Amex to ask them to accelerate points for regular spend, and she said "I can only accelerate the points from spend but not the welcome bonus." I told her to proceed, and she came back and said that all my pending points, welcome bonus included, were accelerated.

That's what happens anytime you accelerate points. I'm surprised the CSR don't know that yet

Meaning that they can't accelerate some of them? That it's either all or none?

They could accelerate some of spend points but anytime there's a bonus attached to it it'll come along.

When they accelerate spend the bonus will always come along. They tell you that they can't accelerate bonus so you have to ask them just to accelerate spend.
I even had once that I reinstated my forfeited points myself online and bingo, bonus points became available!

I recently chatted to them to expedite signup points. They said no, they could only do spend points. Spend points were expedited and bonus points did not come along.
