I signed my wife up for the 80K offer on 10/2. She still hasn't spent the $1K and 1 statement has closed, but there's still no Platinum status. I got this card about 2 years ago and don't remember it taking that long before I was upgraded to Platinum. Of course, when I signed up, the 80K points came after just 1 purchase. Will my wife get Plat only after she spends $1K? The website says it can take 6-8 weeks before Plat upgrade comes... is that what other FTers are experiencing?
