The points showed relatively quickly (~2 days). They showed as CPQPs as soon as they posted. And, the CP status bar showed at 100%. I simply waited for it to show as active/earned.
Great info to have, I really appreciate it!
Today I just cashed in my travel package with marriott for 100K points so I now will wait impatiently. I have a flight in 10 days that I would love to add a Companion to if possible.
