a. You need the points to make an award reservation
b. You travel so much that it’s too difficult to track your points if they don’t post immediately.
c. You like to have something to complain about.
d. All of the above
e. None of the above (and provide another reason...the more sarcastic the better)
The person who provides the best response to "e. None of the above" will will 10,000 gold passport points posted to their account at a date to be determined.
Definitely B as well. I routinely have 2-4 flight segments, 1-2 hotel stays, and 1-2 rental car transactions in a week. These are often a mix of vendors, transactions, billing methods, and promotions. If points post within a day or two, the details of the transaction are still fresh in mind and I can mentally audit the credit received. If they take a week or more to post, I've already started or completed a whole new week's worth of transactions, and it becomes much more difficult to reconcile.
