    Yep, that’s normal. No notification is sent to the person making the referral. Your points should post within 48 hours (at least that’s always been my experience).

    IME they usually post within one day either side of referee receiving their card so 48h about right normally. Very rarely, I’ve waited longer, about 1-2 weeks.

    My recent experience using my Amex Platinum referrals (24k MR for each approved referral), the bonus posted the day after the person was approved, Card probably just posted.

    Additional cardholder bonus post around 120 days after card issued 🤦🏻‍♂️
