You are wrong for contacting amex. This is working for many people automatically, myself included. All this will do is make amex realize they shouldnt have told plastiq that their charges qualify. This hurts the community, especially since it is working for most.

So you wouldn't have contacted amex if it worked for everybody else except you?
Also based on my personal experience I'm wondering if we should have this info included in the wiki for the remainder of this month to let folks know the 2X points are posting but they are pretty inconsistent with posting timelines right now?

Thanks,
I used the following info for paying BofA mortgage -

Phone:800-669-6607
Sent via check to: Bank of America, N.A.
PO BOX 650070
Dallas, TX, US 75265

Payment was submitted to Plastiq on Nov 14th and the payment was applied to my mortgage account on Nov 23rd.

HTH.

Of course not, adding eyes to this clearly unintended consequence is dumb. I got my first SPG 2X but my second payment 2X bonus now about 2.5 weeks old with statement closed already hasn't posted. Last thing I would do is complain to Amex, it's just common sense. Im hoping at some point it will post but not holding my breath. Seems like MR 2X posting pretty regularly and quickly.

Thinking about using Chase SW Plus for a $10k estimated state tax payment before the end of the year to get companion pass. 2.5% on Plastiq vs. 3% on tax commission website. The points don't necessarily have to post before statement end but it would save me a lot of headache if I knew they did.

1. Any experience with Chase SW cards posting as purchase vs. cash advance?

2. Does the purchase immediately post to cc, or does it stay pending until check is cashed?

thanks!

Yikes. So essentially 7-10 business days? This could be annoying with rent. RadPad guaranteed delivery by the 1st assuming you sent it by the cutoff date, so that made things very simple... but it seems with Plastiq you just have to pad it.

If AU uses his/her card while primary is enrolled in small business promo, will it get additional points?
I've got SPG promo to add AU and spend $1000 to get 2500 points, so I'm thinking using in on Plastiq to get a small business additional point.

Yes, since you've enrolled the primary card. From https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/shop-small-offer/frequently-asked-questions.html:

"Only Primary Card Members (Basic Card Members) are eligible to enroll in this offer. However, enrolled Primary Card Members can earn 2X Rewards for purchases made at qualifying small businesses by all Additional Card Members (supplementary Card Members) on their Card account."

Anyone gotten the 2x on a Membership Rewards card since problems were reported? I got it on my first property tax payment, and want to make my second before 12/31. (But after my statement closes in a couple of days.) I'll probably do it anyway, as 1.5x for a $5k+ transaction on the business plat is worth 3% when redeemed for flights, and Plastiq is only charging me 2.5%. Plus it'll finish off my $15k spend for the second 50k point signup bonus.

Thanks for posting this! I had been looking on AmEx and getting panicked that my 20000 bonus points hadn't posted yet. So I logged onto my SPG account and all the bonus points are there. Whew!

If I hadn't already locked in the low MasterCard promotional rate, I'd have switched to my SPG card in a heartbeat

Why? I'm using Citi ATTAM to get 3x on Plastiq. I used SPG to pay with no fee when I had rewards dollars, and to get 1 additional point for shop small promo.
