Any department/specific number I should be speaking to?
I just called in (again) to the Business Platinum card services line to attempt to accelerate the posting of my MR bonus for my new card. I've called 3 or 4 times and all of the reps I've spoken with have told me that they're unable to accelerate the bonus points. The most recent call offered a little more information-- the rep conferred with a MR supervisor who told her that the AMEX MR folks won't accelerate MR points (bonus or otherwise) for an accountholder with fewer than 6 previous posted statements.

That doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but it seems that is the policy now.
