Re: the six times bonus - it took about 2 months for it to post on my account after a couple of emails to/from both US and United.
The 2nd time I took the US Shuttle for the bonus, it posted in about a week, so Im not sure what went wrong the first time.

For whatever it may be worth, this is precisely my experience too.
Maybe the bonus was initially misconfigured or delayed, and so no initially one was getting it promptly; then they subsequently fixed it, so you, I, and everyone else all get it quickly now.
