My second statement included the 30,000 for $1,500-of-charges-in-first-three-months bonus.
Hm. in my first month (in fact, at least a week before the statement closed), I charged just over $1500 (by a few dollars!
). It showed on my first statement (now that I can see it in PDF online), but showed up at HHonors two days (Nov 25th vs 23rd) after the other points from the first statement showed up!
Thus I've gotten over 50k HH points within 5 weeks of applying for the card. (I've only done 1 of my 4 HH stays so far. And I have no one to add to my account, so won't get those 2.5k points...
Btw, the statement shows the 30k bonus and one of the 10k bonuses. But it misattributes the 10k bonus to "drug store purchases"!
