Interesting.. now that you mention it..
This is the first time ever (that I can remember) after churning multiple Amex cards that when I passed the threshold I didn't get the welcome bonus immediately (overnight).
Also the first time that I've had the Biz Plat.
Also the first time they merged Amex Rewards accounts (from a previous Personal Plat I cancelled).
Too many variables to narrow down what is triggering what if any, but an anecdotal anomaly for me.
