Anyone else have to wait that long for them to post the miles?
My wife received her sign up bonus before the card arrived in the mail. I received the card and have not received the bonus miles. The offer was for miles awarded on approval. We both applied at the same time, but approval times may have varied as neither of us got instant approval. Perhaps the miles post in batches at certain set points in time. I applied for a second card in hopes of snagging another bonus, and wonder if maybe I won't get them at all on account of that. I haven't yet called to inquire.
