Me and the wife applied for the No Fee HH card last year and received the bonus points after meeting the spend. We had applied and receive a bonus in late 2010 or early 2011. Those 2010/2011 cards were converted/upgraded to the Surpass' in Sept of 2013 (we got an upgrade bonus). So I don't know if the fact that we converted to a Surpass made a difference, but our timeline was a little over 5-1/2 years between applications.
