I'm curious ... What are your experience with this promotion? How much time did it take you to receive your miles?

I am in desperate need of the bonus miles for award travel I plan to take in early April. I am wondering if it's worth holding out for, or if I should simply purchase a ticket for the flight.

Apologies if this has been addressed previously. I have searched the forum and didn't find any posts on the topic.

Thanks,
