I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be the first time people would have to ask for miles that were supposed to be posted automatically by a shopping mall. Call me crazy, but something that is largely automated by computers shouldn't take 10 weeks.
The delays aren't because the computers take so long to compute. They are purposeful waiting periods to allow financial transactions to settle (including possible returns/refunds), to give a buffer for errors to be caught, and that sort of thing.
I'm not insisting that these miles will post as promised by the 10 week mark, but I still think it's wise to wait until they've actually violated the offer before proceeding to complain.
