In most cases, miles post in the evening on the 5th of each month if it's a business day, or else the evening of the next business day. "Miles post for purchases made between (inclusive) 5th day of prior month to 4th day of current month."

Good news, the WIKI no longer says we can't spread panic when miles don't post by the 5th so I'd like to start panicing. ZOMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEE HELP.
Ok now that's out of the way, I agree with Stgermainparis above. Sometimes it's even the 7th or 8th and I've noticed the extra delay around holidays. So let's see what happens tonight/tomorrow. If there is no posting by tomorrow night I will expect the world to end soon thereafter

Anyone have any experience in earning miles all the way up to the date of your account closure? I got my account closure letter from ST. I've been pounding it hard for the past 2 months since the program is ending. My account is officially getting closed on the 29th of this month. If I earn more points between now and the 25th (when the program ends) and I personally close my account on the 28th, will I still earn points when they post them?

Wow they closed your account even with the impending changes? I'm really surprised.

The letter said that my card will be inactive "within 10 days of the date of this letter". I was assuming it means 7/9 (the letter was dated 6/29) and not 10 days before my account closure on 7/29.

Close to 6 figures each of the last two months. I think it has more to do with a large increase in pattern than anything else.

"Miles post for purchases made between (inclusive) 5th day of prior month to 4th day of current month."
