How long does it take for bonus points to post for a new account? The minimum spending was met and paid before the statement closed, the sign up and spending points are still pending after 15 days of statement closing.

Next statement.

Did you do it through a refundable?

Any experience in getting sign up bonus for a card you never signed up for before, but had had it at some point via a product change/downgrade?

I referred someone to the PRG and Plat on the same day (2bm). 3 weeks later the 5k posted for the PRG but still no points for the Plat. It's as if they know I want to cancel to avoid the AF so their taking their sweet time😡

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

Why not call and have them expedite it?

I had similar problem with my gold where I was getting the points but not the bonus 3x.
I will not respond to PM about the UPS method.

I will not respond to PM about the BBLD method.

I would be concerned if I were you. Is it possible you weren't eligible for the bonus?
