I do appreciate your updates. Thank you. Unfortunately, no response can be definitive. We'll all have to wait and see if we get the bonus miles or not. Candidly, the spend I am doing to qualify is spend I would do anyway.
RNE, keeping calm and carrying on.
I'm doing the same. I expect to spend $1000 between the day I registered and the end of October, and may reach $3000 if they count my spending in August and September.
