Any recall the datapoints for how long it takes after first purchase for the miles to hit the account? Have a trip in August I want to use them for.
They post a couple days after your first statement closes. Your first statement usually closes 2 weeks to 1 month after you get your card, so you're probably looking around 16 to 35 days from now. You should be fine for your trip in August. Southwest's birthday is June 18th and they usually run a sale around that time so you should have your points in time for that!
