I believe they will post shortly after you statement cycles. You are correct that it has to be paid. Let's say your payment is due the 15th. You pay on the 5th. Your points will still post after the 15th. Now, if you didnt pay on time, you won't get the points.
You can call and accelerate the points posting after you have paid if you need them for something specific.
