However, please do not worry, I would request you to make the charge directly at merchants physical store or online store (Apple, Tiger Direct, Home depot etc) and once the charge is posted to your account, write back to us with the charge details and we will issue the bonus points manually.
NOW I AM CONFUSED

Maybe they're working on a system that would apply the bonus points to purchases made at the qualifying merchants online without having to use the portal.
