I got mine in a little over a week, I think, but then I was already a cardmember with First USA/BankOne, and I don't know if that speeds it up.
Meanwhile, the official fine print says bonus miles take 6 to 8 weeks to post, and it's unclear exactly from when. I waited a couple weeks before I made my first purchase, but the statement has posted, my REGULAR miles from the statement have posted (as of a week or two ago), but still no bonus miles yet. If they count the 6 to 8 weeks from the first statement (I don't know if they do), that could actually be 12+ weeks from your application, while you only have 11ish weeks before July 1 at this point.
