2.5K goes for your 1st 8 stays, award or paid. You should have gotten one with your reward stay but sometimes it takes a while for the card to sync with your account. You should get 2.5K for your next 7 stays.
Thanks all for the reality check!
I'll appreciate my good fortune on the extra 1st purchase points and save myself a call to HH
