If you spend 10K each on Oct, Nov and Dec, most likely you will be FR'ed.

I just completed 30K spending (almost 20K of it was from grocery store GC purchases) and the 15K bonus posted right away.
If you have a safeway grocery store in the area where you live, they have $10 grocery coupon for visa/mc gift card purchase.

My wife signed up for the Amex PRG in Feb when the bonus was 50k. We met the spend and have used it sparingly once GC's could have PIN's April 1 since the BCP was a much better option. I am trying to figure out if I will have enough time to between Oct 1 (bluebird resets) and Feb 5 to meet the 30k spend (2x on groceries obv) to get the extra 15k MR's, while avoiding the annual fee. I'm pretty sure MR's are posted a month in the rear, so if I do 10k in Oct, Nov, Dec will the points post and still avoid the annual fee. I have also read that it is 30k spend per calendar year to get the extra 15k MR's, which would be cutting it pretty close. I don't want to spend 30k, then try to close in Feb and the MR's not post and have to forfeit them.
Thanks for your help.
