Please allow up to eight weeks for the Welcome Bonus to be awarded.

For some reason, it says only six weeks for the Plat card.

I sure hope it doesn't take this long as it will change my timing for churns, especially when I want to use these for the Avios bonus (hopefully coming).

Short answer: Yes. Posting times have changed.
Long answer: You will find lots of opinions on this topic, some of them repeated a lot, at:
