Forums Payment cards American Express Bonus points for hitting spend threshold posting

  • 340 posts

    I hit the 3k spend in 3 months on the gold Amex reward card last week (on Monday to be precise)

    The 30,000 bonus points to date have not posted , what’s the average time scale these days ? Am I looking at getting these in 90 days or sooner ?

    When I signed up for the gold, I got the points immediately after I had paid off the transaction that took me over the £3k spend (at that time I was paying it off as soon as the transaction posted rather than after my statement generated).

    For my BA card, got the bonus the next day after the transaction cleared.

    If you contact Amex, they will just tell you it can take 8-12 weeks to post, even though its almost always much faster than that.

    I think it said that you’ll get 20K and 10K separately, so the 10K bonus points may come at a later date.

    My 32k SUB did show up as 20k and 12k, but they both posted at the same time
