So seeing as how my statement ends at the end of July, that could conceivably be into October before I see all the points.
How likely is it that it really takes 6-8 weeks for points to post?
not likely.
How it works it seems the offer's own bonus, be it 10K or 25K, shows up as "earned" immediately after you meet the spend requirement. Then you can ask for the release of the bump up. At this stage it depends on your luck whether the 75K are made immediately available so you can use them, or they are made "pending for transfer" then you would have to wait for next statement cycle. Meanwhile pay off your balance and ask the expedition again... Chances are the total would be available long before Sept 30.
