It takes a couple of weeks to get this up and running and the agents are borderline incompetent. You need to have a business AMEX card that is enrolled in Membership Rewards in order to earn points, though the money is wired from your business bank account. I opened an account a month ago and received 15K after my first transaction, but am still waiting for the second 15K that was supposed to post after my 3rd transaction. Sent an email a week ago; no response.
I agree that the setup procedures could be better but I will say that my account exec was very helpful and informative. Definitely NOT incompetent, borderline or otherwise.

I got my miles (15K+15K) within about a week of completing the necessary transactions without any prodding on my part.
