Well I bit the bullet and submitted two inquires last evening:
1 - $550 Gift Card purchase from Sears at 6 points per dollar
2 - $600 merchandise purchase from sears at 8 points per dollar
I immediately got two emails asking for receipts which I promptly uploaded. I was amazed this morning when I had an email from the Rapid Rewards Shopping Portal support team.
They mentioned given the size of my orders they will have to manually review with Sears and that it could take 4-8 weeks for the investigation to be complete (although hopefully sooner).
Hoping sooner because these will top me off for my Companion Pass.

I received an email with the exact wording last week (4/15). Can you please share how long it took to get the bonus points into your shopping account after you received that email. Thank you

I wish I had read this thread before pulling the trigger on a $2,000 gc order from Sears (4x$500). Does everyone break up these orders in order to have an easier time getting these points to post quickly?
Ordered $1,000 several months ago and it took some time to post but it eventually did. Figured I would be just as fine with $2,000.

I've done many orders over the last couple of years of $1,000-$4,000 each, and they all post (eventually). For example, I had a couple of orders around $2,000 last month that posted to my RR Shopping account after 3 1/2 weeks, but still waiting for them to actually be posted to my SW account.
It just takes time.

I double dipped on $1,000 purchase. Nice! It also put me at the top of the threshold to get the extra 2,500 points.
21,000 points - plus the 2,500 bonus. I should hit my CP next month for 2016.

Today's email says Sears is 6 points per dollar, with "Extra points coming June 11, 2015." If that means 12 points per dollar, I'm in!
Old Navy is listed at 2 points per dollar with "Extra points coming June 4, 2015." So we will find out tomorrow. If that 2 becomes 4, then I'd expect the 6 to become 12.

Good Catch on that "extra points" wording. Old Navy today is 7. That is a decent increase from regular 1, yesterday 2.
I love this heads up...I'm always weary about pulling the trigger on a big purchase because I know they next day some crazy high bonus will come in from the retailer.
