Very odd. I applied for this card 10/29. The AF posted 10/31. I received the card 11/6 and made a purchase of ~$31
I paid the bill in full yesterday ( 11/12) to see it it might speed up the points posting. I got an email today saying my statement had closed 11/11. When I made the payment yesterday no payment was due and had to enter the amount I wanted to pay.
If Barclay is saying that there has to be a purchase on the statement when the AF is billed I had about 5 days to buy something.
I only mention this because of the person who said he was denied points because his 50 cent purchase was not recognized.
So if I had not used the card in the 5 days since I receive it would I have also been denied the 40K for not making a purchase on the statement that had the $89 AF charge ?
No points posted and the payment I made yesterday was not acknowledged on the statement
