But be sure to check as this was paying for a qualifying expense at a qualifying dealer and it did not post automatically.

On the plus side I like that MR posting is now at least in line with the statement period and not calendar month. That makes tracking the points far easier. Now that Amex MR is facing real competition from Chase UR, and indeed I would say has fallen behind already, maybe they will now go to posting as soon as statement clears rather than a month in arrears too
