I opened an AMEX Gold business account on Jan. 2nd. My MR points took approx. 4 weeks after my first statement cut to post. I have just met the 5K minimum spend to earn my 75K bonus points, including 2K of AP spending. I have read a few posts that said AMEX did not credit AP spending towards the minimum spend level.

My next statement cuts 3/9. If my latest points take another 4 weeks to post, it will be after the three month mark of my having the card. If AMEX does not give me credit for the AP spend, I will have missed out on the 75K bonus.

How long does it typically take for MR points to post after a statement cuts? Would it make a difference if I paid my balance in full prior to the statement cutting to speed up the process? Also, does anyone have recent experience with AP spend counting or not counting towards the minimum spend?

Thanks for your assistance.
