When I asked the CSR if I had met the spend requirement, he stated that I needed to spend about $4300 more, which seems to indicate the Simon Mall purchase was not being counted toward eligible spend.

When I pressed him and said I saw about $6k spend from my side, he confirmed he saw the spend, that it earned miles for the purchase, and to wait a little longer for the bonus to post.

I don't believe him...
If the points post on your next statement, then the spend will count. Right now just sit and wait. In the past, the only time AMEX spend didn't count was when purchasing Amex gift cards unless that has changed
